The scene in focus is associated with which the action star requires to jump off a cliff riding a motorcycle. “This is far and away the most dangerous thing we’ve ever attempted,” he states, adding that whatever they are putting up is for the audience.
The next few minutes of the video tweeted by Tom Cruise shows how Tom gears up for the scene. He also smiles at the camera and says ‘Be confident”.

The team then talks about how they rehearsed every little thing related to the stunt and would end up doing 30 jumps a day. They calculated it to 500 skydivers and over 13000 motocross jumps.
The team has made use of technology to build a platform conducive to the jump as they have planned and s captured well by the cameras. At a point in the video the coach even goes on to warn that if the stunt goes wrong, the repercussion might lead to a series injury or even death.
Towards the end, as the actor successfully manages to pull off the death-defying stunt, the crew claps and cheers for him. He also thanks the team for their brilliant job. However, not convinced, he also says that he feels he held the bike a little longer than needed.
One of the crew members says that this is the biggest stunt in the history of cinema, and Tom flew off the motorbike six times in a day. In a blooper moment, as Tom makes a face while pulling the parachute on, the team is seen sharing a laugh.
