Tom Cruise Is Jumping Out Of Planes In The UAE Desert And It’s Pretty Dang Scary

Tom Cruise is currently jumping out of planes in the UAE, while shooting for his upcoming movie Mission Impossible: Fallout.

A scene from the movie has gone viral, which stars Tom performing a HALO (High Altitude Low Open) jump and he’s the only actor to take a risk of this kind.

This jump is known to be a military free fall jump that gets troops on the ground undetected

 For this, he was required to jump off a plane which was at 25,000 ft and could only open his parachute once he was below 2,000 ft.

Tom and the crew had to shoot over a 100 takes before they could get the right shot since they wanted to capture it at sunset.

Tom praised the country for its support in the making of this movie, “We needed the UAE. Had they not stepped in, we would not have been able to accomplish this sequence.”
