“If you stick your face out and go 120 to 130 miles per hour, you don’t get oxygen,” he explained over the scene. “So I had to train myself how to breathe.
Christopher McQuarrie, who wrote and directed the film together with the previous three “Mission: impossible” Films also spoke with Empire and claimed that the work cruise for the coming film was remarkable.

“There are stunts in this film that will melt your brain,” said McQuarrie. “There would be a day in Africa – every day in Africa – where Tom would do something that would do something that came across something he had ever done before.”
He was still a dramatic moment in the film, without giving details, besides saying: “I really want to puke about the stress. It was intense.”
An earlier stunt, one of the “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” from 2018, also caused problems with breathing of cruise – a stunt known as the Halo jump.

Usually performed by military special troops, Halo stands for ‘great height, low opening’. During the parachute jump, an individual jumps from an aircraft at an extremely high height, usually 25,000 to 40,000 feet, and do not open their parachute until they are about 800 feet from the ground. According to the National Air and Space Museum, an average sky diver only goes up to 15,000 feet and their parachute implements 3000 feet.

One of the biggest worries about the stunt was the possibility to lose oxygen when jumping such a height. According to the Hollywood reporter, a special helmet was made to allow cruise to perform the stunt, which also acted as an oxygen mask and a windshield to protect his face.
“The plane goes between these C-17s between 160 and 200 miles per hour, so at that level of turbulence we had to find a way to leave the plane,” said Cruise in a position behind the scenes for the film. “Then it was, we only got one day. I spent the whole day training and at night we would get that take, and if there was one mistake, it was, the view was gone.”

“Tom did not want to falsify it – he really wanted to do it at 25,000 feet,” said stunt coordinator Allan Hewitt de Outlet. “But the producers said they were not going to another country. It really seemed that we were going with the RAF fake.”
