Praised as perhaps the film industry’s biggest daredevil, Tom Cruise was lucky to escape serious injury after being filmed messing up a stunt. Watch below:

Cruise was filming for Oversight at the time, where he plays the character of Jack Harper who works as a security repairman on an Earth left empty after a war with aliens.

Set in the year 2077, Jack has two more weeks until his mission is complete.

After saving alien Olga Kurylenko from a downed spaceship, the woman’s arrival sets off a chain of events that culminates in Jack’s single-handed battle to save humanity.

In a behind-the-scenes look at the 2013 film, the actor is seen flying up a ramp on a motorbike at full speed with the hope of landing perfectly without losing momentum.

Cruise then goes full throttle with his attempt.

Unfortunately, he massively miscalculated the landing and when his tires hit the ground, he completely lost his balance and the bike crashed to the ground.

With the bike, Superior gun The star falls super awkwardly and narrowly misses getting caught on her legs underneath.

After tossing and turning, it then cuts to the actor who seems fine as he says, “Okay guys”, hands in the air.

Accidents like that might make some of us think twice about doing such dangerous stunts, however, Cruise just seems to go from one extreme to another.

He participated in perhaps his most daring feat of bravery to date after jumping off a cliff on a motorbike directly into a BASE jump.

For those who don’t know, BASE means building, antenna, bay or earth.

Basically, jumping from skyscrapers, high radio towers, a bridge or a cliff.

In this case, we are dealing with a cliff.

As shown in the trailerthe absolutely ridiculous attempt begins with Cruise hitting the throttle on his motorbike, as he heads for the edge of a cliff.

Just as he reaches the edge, he leaps into the air, grabs his hands off the bike, and literally plummets off the cliff…with the bike.

Cruise describes the stunt as “by far the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted.”

Mission: Impossible – Estimated part one is due out on July 14 in the UK.
