The mission impossible movies are a series of action spy films based on the popular television series of the same name. They star Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt, an agent for the Impossible Missions Force. The movies are highly entertaining and often contain dangerous stunts. But what makes them so compelling is the vulnerability of the characters.
Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise has been spending a lot of money and time on the Mission Impossible movies. Before he got into acting, Tom Cruise was in Top Gun and Maverick, and he had a good amount of stunt experience. Now, he is back and this time he is on a motorcycle doing crazy stunts.
Tom Cruise played the character Ethan Hunt in the first Mission Impossible film. The actor was 32 years old when he starred in the film, and he has since starred in 61 films. Of those movies, 40 were released after Mission: Impossible. His performance in the film earned a 6.7 on The Movie Database.
Tom Cruise starred as Ethan Hunt in all eight films in the series. He also produced each one, and was very involved with the creation of the franchise. In addition to being the star of the Mission Impossible films, Tom Cruise has also starred in many other films, including Rain Man, A Few Good Men, Vanilla Sky, and Jack Reacher. Tom Cruise is currently co-starring in the movie Edge of Tomorrow with Emily Blunt.
The sequel, “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol,” brought Cruise back to the big screen. The “Mission Impossible” series has a history of raising the bar, and Tom Cruise is no different. He does all the stunts himself, and his dedication to the cinema is apparent.
Tom Cruise’s stunts
The first film in the Mission: Impossible series, “Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation,” set the bar for action-packed sequels to follow. In the movie, Tom Cruise performed most of the stunts himself, including a hanging from a ceiling and climbing a cliff without a safety net. He also tore his labrum during one stunt. In MI3 and MI4, Tom Cruise performed stunts like jumping from a skyscraper, a stunt that caused him to torn his labrum. In MI4, he hung from the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, another stunt that required him to risk his life.
The stunts for Mission: Impossible: Rogue Nation also involved Cruise hanging from a plane. Despite the safety reasons, this stunt was still thrilling and risky for Cruise. Despite the risk, he was able to pull it off with a little practice. The stunt coordinator, Gregg Smrz, estimated that Tom Cruise practiced the stunt on a makeshift glass wall heated with artificial lights.
The stunt involved Tom Cruise wearing a suit that was incredibly heavy. The armor was usually added with CGI in post-production, but Cruise opted to wear it on the set. The suit weighed between 85 and 130 pounds. Cruise was already recovering from a broken ankle during the filming of “Fallout.” But he managed to pull off a stunt like this eight times.
Tom Cruise’s character’s vulnerability
While Tom Cruise’s character, James Hunt, is the smartest man in the room, he is also prone to anxiety and acts like a dorky pencil-pusher. Hunt must learn to deal with his anxiety and vulnerability, because any sign of weakness can mean the failure of the mission. In this movie, he infiltrates a vault that is protected from all outside threats. Even one drop of sweat on his face can endanger his mission.
Although Tom Cruise is 60 years old, he has not slowed down. His Mission: Impossible stunts are still as dangerous as ever, and he isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Two more Mission: Impossible films are in the works, due for release in 2023 and 2024.
Tom Cruise’s character in Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol is one of the most heartbreaking and emotionally challenging films he’s ever made. The film stars Tom Cruise as a pompous executive who pretends to get to know Ray Babbit (Dustin Hoffman). The movie teaches him the value of family bonds over money.
The film’s first-person view of Tom Cruise’s vulnerability is particularly striking. In the movie’s memorable nightclub shootout, Tom Cruise demonstrates his proficiency with firearms. His character is the only member of the cast who didn’t lose his lunch. Afterwards, Tom Cruise makes it his mission to make sure that the sequel has better pilots.
