Tom Cruise's Terrifying Speed-Flying Stunt Shocks 'Mission: Impossible 7' Crew

Tom Cruise learned how to speed-fly for his upcoming film "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One," which director Christopher McQuarrie describes as "one of the most dangerous sports in the world." Speed-flying is similar to paragliding but involves racing down mountains at high speeds, increasing the risk of collision with land. Cruise also performed a death-defying motorcycle stunt by riding off a cliff and parachuting to safety on the first day of filming. The actor wanted to test his survival skills and determine if the production would continue. The film is set to release on July 12.
