Simon Pegg, who returns for this installment after appearing in the previous five, told reporters that the core of the film is the relationship between Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie, which began in 2011 with the Ghost Protocol "They pushed, encouraged and challenged each other to move the story forward, with increasing scope and ambition," Pegg points out.

The daring stunt on a motorbike that he performed on the first day of filming is clear proof of this.In the most dangerous scene of his career, Cruise, now 60, drove a motorcycle off the edge of a cliff before activating a parachute to land safely while the bike crashed.

Cruise had previously injured his ankle while filming Mission: Impossible 6 causing production to stall. But this cliff-diving stunt was far more dangerous than any of the previous stunts.
"Well, after this scene, we'll know whether we can continue making the movie or not. So let's all find out on the first day!" - Cruise shared with Entertainment Tonight .
The A-list actor said he had to concentrate on the motorcycle scene, which required the utmost physical precision. "I trained and prepared. You have to be razor sharp when you do something like that," he said. "The most important thing is to put that scene first. I don't want to go shoot other scenes and let my mind wander."
When it came to shooting the scene, Cruise was just thinking, "Everyone's ready - let's get this done." For him, the moment was a combination of his previous stunt experience and the innovations of the filmmakers he was working with.
Cruise's fame continues to rise after the success of the blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick last year with a revenue of 1.49 billion USD - the 11th highest-grossing film in history. Dead Reckoning is expected to be one of the biggest Hollywood movies of the summer, if not the biggest.
