Tom Cruise Suspended From Airborne Plane in 'Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation' Trailer (VIDEO)
Paramount Pictures has recently released its trailer for "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation," its fifth film in the action spy series starring Tom Cruise.
Tom Cruise tackles a new stunt, dangling from the shut doors of an airborne aircraft in the trailer for "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation," Paramount Picture's fifth installment of the "Mission Impossible" franchise.
The upcoming action spy film that's due in theaters in July 31 this year will feature Cruise as operative Ethan Hunt. He will be joined by Jeremy Renner, who was introduced in the previous film as William Brandt, Simon Pegg as bumbling tech guy Benji Dunn, and Ving Rhames as computer expert Luther Stickwell. Alec Baldwin makes an entrance as a CIA Director, and Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson stars as the as-yet-unnamed female lead.

The plot for the fifth film follows Hunt who is on the run from the Syndicate, a highly organized group of skilled rogue assassins. The trailer sees Cruise as Hunt dangling precariously from the side of an Airbus A400M Atlas 5,000 feet in the air -- a stunt film insiders are saying is all Cruise, without the aid of a stunt double.
The move mimics the 52-year-old actor's daring climb and swing from the one of the top floors of Dubai's 163-floor Burj Khalifa skyscraper for the 2011 "Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol."
Cruise reportedly did most of the stunt scenes in the new movie, including a BMW car chase scene in Morocco, and stunt jumping from the roof of the Vienna State Opera. Cruise was also said to have been narrowly missed by a moving double-decker bus while shooting in London.
Most of the actor's box office successes have been driven by the four previous "Mission Impossible" films, the grand total of which have grossed $2 billion worldwide. Only one of Cruise's films outside the franchise, "Edge of Tomorrow" in 2014, reached just over $100 million at the U.S. box office.
