Tom Cruise's 16 near-death experiences.
In the eighth installment of the action- packed Mission: Impossible series, super-spy Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, engages in a climactic battle with his arch-nemesis Gabriel (Esai Morales) in the skies. They fight for control of an independent artificial intelligence called Entity, both flying 1940s biplanes over the canyons and fields of the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa.

The scene ends with Ethan falling from one of the burning planes and shattering into pieces in mid-air; he deploys his parachute, but it catches fire and breaks apart, forcing him to deploy his backup parachute as he crashes to the ground.
"Tom Cruise jumped from a helicopter 16 times while strapped into a fuel-soaked and burning parachute, before cutting off the burnt remnants of the first parachute and safely deploying a backup. No other actor or stuntman has achieved such a number of death-defying parachute jumps," according to the Guinness World Records website.
In some scenes, Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie, the screenwriter and director of the blockbuster Mission: Impossible 8 , equipped the star with a 25 kg camera rig attached to his body, capturing close-up shots of Ethan parachuting.
"Tom isn't just playing the hero. He's a truly brave man! Much of Tom's success is attributed to his absolute focus on the scene and pushing the boundaries of what a top man can do. It's an honor to be able to recognize his bravery with this new world record title," said Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records.

Tom Cruise is no stranger to Guinness World Records. The Oscar-nominated star also holds the Guinness World Record for the actor with the most consecutive films grossing $100 million, from Jack Reacher (2012) to Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025). Glenday calls him "the most successful leading action hero at the global box office."
Following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning is now showing in theaters worldwide. In addition to Tom Cruise, the film stars Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, Angela Bassett, and others.
