Tom Cruise can now film in space: The only oxygen he needs is adrenaline
Disclaimer: This is not a was the winter of 2011, and I had recently found my freedom after completing school when 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol' was released. With a meagre budget from some saved-up pocket money, I decided to give it a try at a single-screen theatre in Meerut, a small town in Uttar Pradesh.I was hooked from the first The music, the story, the stunts — and above all, the charm of Tom Cruise.

(Photo: Screengrab) Over 14 years since that winter evening, both Tom Cruise and I have grown older, a lot wiser (me, a lot less though), and a little more serious about our crafts — he, a moviemaker; I, a lowly science journalist who continues to love having watched what Tom Cruise pulled off in 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning', I'm confident the 62-year-old specimen of flesh and bone has what it takes to make a film in you read that right — outside the what else is left? He's already conquered the three elements: land, sea, and air, thanks to his 'Top Guns' and 'Mission Impossibles'.Did you know there was even a plan for him to fly to the International Space Station — but, unfortunately, the Russians beat him to it.

Langley mentioned the plan was to have Tom do a spacewalk it never a Russian crew, actor Yulia Peresild, and director Klim Shipenko, flew to the Space Station and shot a sequence for a film titled The Challenge. They lived aboard the Station for 12 days before returning to Earth with the Yulia can do it, Tom Cruise could do it a notch better — maybe even with a spacewalk, Sunita Williams leaping off cliffs on a motorcycle, to running across buildings, to jumping off skyscrapers, to hanging off a plane facing monstrous air speeds, to going underwater and training to hold his breath for six straight minutes (the average human can do 30 to 90 seconds) — these are the stuff of legend. They're only possible with a life of discipline, a regimented routine, and a never-say-never margin for error. Tom Cruise (@TomCruise) May 21, 2025Tom Cruise has all that — and, above all, in his own words, the hunger to learn and shoot a film on the space station would call for a humongous collaboration — NASA, the production company, space station management, astronauts aboard the flying laboratory, SpaceX for launch and return missions, and most importantly, Tom Cruise himself, who would need months, if not years, of rigorous given Tom's history and love for films, he could make it there is one last mission that Tom Cruise should choose to accept, it's to conquer the final frontier — honestly? After watching 'Mission: Impossible', I'm convinced. If anyone can pull off cinema in zero gravity with a smile and a sprint, it's Cruise. Just don't forget the seatbelt. Or, you know Reel

Tom Cruise's very clean attempt at speaking in Hindi as he gushes over his India trip will make your day!
There's obviously no two ways about Tom Cruise being a bona fide charmer. But watching his very earnest, and even more clean attempt at speaking Hindi, will have you booking your Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning tickets instantly. In a promotional video doing the rounds of the internet, Tom can be seen conversing in some basic Hindi phrases, enunciating properly, focusing perfectly. His attempts are sandwiched between him speaking about how much he loves a good old Bollywood flick and would actually love to make a Bollywood-esque film one day. Not just this, the face and body of Ethan Hunt still can't seem to have gotten over his brief 2-day trip to India. The actor had made the visit back in 2011, in lieu of promoting his fourth MI film, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, in which he incidentally starred along side Anil Kapoor. As a matter of fact, Tom had also managed to make it to the Taj Mahal in Agra, a moment he still appears to be quite smitten by. The clip begins with Tom saying, "Main aap sabse bohot pyaar karta hoon (I love you all a lot)" and flashing those crater-adjacent dimples. He proceeds to add, "Hello India, I love you. I love Bollywood movies. Oh my gosh, you kidding? Absolutely. They are so wonderful and unique, where you can just break out in a song, it's beautiful! I would love to make a Bollywood style would be so much fun doing it". Referring to his India trip, he reminisces, "I went to the Taj Mahal, yeah it was beautiful. Just Mumbai was extraordinary, I'll just never forget it. I really cannot wait to go back there". A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) His final plea? "Main chahta hoon tum mujhpar bharosa karo, ek aakhri baar (I want you to trust me one last time)". Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning, releases in theatres today.

Four of the films in the 'Mission: Impossible' film franchaise. | Contributed Fast-forward to 2025 and the eighth film is about to hit cinemans, with Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning one of the most hotly-anticipated movies of the year.

Simon Pegg's character Benji Dunn is the second most loyal/alive Hunt colleague, with six films under his belt. What sets the Mission: Impossible films apart from many other action movies is that they have managed to attract critical-acclaim alongside entertaining audiences - the last film was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture. Here's how the eight film shave been viewed by the critics - from best to worst - according to review aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. 1 . Mission: Impossible - Fallout The most critically-acclaimed of the series is the sixth instalment, released in 2018. It sees Ethan Hunt attempt to thwart a nuclear attack by a band of terrorists and extremists. Filming was famously delayed when Cruise broke his ankle during a stunt when he lept between buildings. It scores a near-perfect 98 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, thanks to Cruise, director Christopher McQuarrie and Henry Cavill's deliciously dastardly baddie. | Contributed Photo Sales 2 . Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One Part seven of the 'Mission: Impossible' sage also scores 96 per cent on the Tomatometer. Filmed at the same time as the soon-to-be released 'Final Reckoning', 'Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One' is one of the most expensive films ever made - with a budget of around $291 million.

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation The fifth 'Mission: Impossible' film is the third most acclaimed film in the series, with a 94 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating. Released in 2015, 'Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation' sees Ethan Hunt and his team (including Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson) fighting the Syndicate, a shadowy group of rogue (are you starting to see a pattern?) government agents. Sean Harris proves to be a memorable villain. | Contributed Photo Sales 4 . Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol The fourth 'Mission: Impossible' film is also the fourth most well reviewed - 2011's 'Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol'. It proved once again Cruise's amazing ability to garner great reviews with big budget action films and was directed by 'Incredibles' filmmaker Brad Bird in his live action debut. It sees Ethan Hunt's IMF team (that's the Impossible Missions Force, NOT the International Monetary Fund...) shut down after being framed for a bombing of the Kremlin. Can they clear their names? Yes they can. It also scores 94 per cent on the Tomatometer. | Contributed Photo Sales
