And the latest instalment is no different, with one particular shock moment showing the Hollywood star thousdands of feet up in the air as he dangles out of a helicopter before falling backwards to the ground.
Paramount Pictures have shared a new video on their YouTube channel using a Snorricam – a camera that locks the camera’s perspective to the actor.
The nail-biting clip shows Tom leaping out of the helicopter, as well as including some of the decisions that were made by the crew before the stunt took place.
Reprising his role as the titular hero Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible, Tom takes on his biggest mission yet, after a tense cliffhanger saw the spy determined to track down cyber weapon The Entity and learning that his team was betrayed and his ‘secrets compromised.’
Speaking of the stunts in the movie, Tom previously told Empire Magazine: ‘When you stick your face out (of an airplane), going over 120 to 130 miles an hour, you’re not getting oxygen.
‘So I had to train myself how to breathe. There were times I would pass out physically; I was unable to get back into the cockpit.’
Previous Mission: Impossible movies have seen the star climb the Burj Khalifa in Dubai and cling to the roof of a moving train but director Christopher McQuarrie explained that a scene in the latest flick made him ‘want to puke’ from ‘the stress’.
The 56-year-old filmmaker said: ‘There are stunts in this movie that will melt your brain.
And it seems one plane on the red carpet wasn’t enough as the star then clambered on top of a second yellow Mission: Impossible aircraft

‘There would be a day in Africa – any day in Africa – where Tom would go out and do something that topped anything he had ever done before.’
In the soon-to-be released big budget action flick, his character Ethan Hunt hangs from and crawls along the wings of a biplane from the 1940s above South Africa’s Drakensberg mountain range which could be seen in the trailer for the upcoming flick.
He told People: ‘I remember seeing old footage of wing-walking. Those aircraft were only traveling at, I don’t know, 40, 50 miles an hour.
‘This aircraft is up to over 120 miles an hour. Going out there, I was realizing that it takes your breath away.’
