Tom Cruise hangs from the side of a flying plane for ‘Mission: Impossible 5’ stunt

Tom Cruise is well known for performing his own death defying stunts, but if you thought him scaling the side of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai for Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol was intense, check this out.

For Christopher McQuarrie’s Mission: Impossible 5 (which is currently shooting in the UK), Cruise strapped himself to the side of an Airbus A400M military plane. Not on the ground, mind you…5000 feet in the air!
