Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” have a lot in common.Both are part of decades-old American franchises that have been led by the same stars from Day 1 — Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Sooner or later, Ethan Hunt will face a mission he really ought not to accept. But for the time being, he remains the one man on earth willing to attempt the impossible without questioning the motives of those who require his services. That’s the deal with America’s most dutiful boy scout, Tom Cruise, who’s carried the billion-dollar “Mission: Impossible” franchise across 27 years without losing steam. Compare that with Indiana Jones, who’s failed to connect with a younger generation, or the Fast and Furious movies, which aren’t running out of gas so much as guzzling the laughing sort. “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” finds Cruise, now in his sixties, still running from one side of a very big, very wide screen to the other as if his life — and the lives of all 8 billion people on earth — depended on it. This is Hunt’s seventh blockbuster outing, with a last franchise-capper set to release next summer, and while it can’t eclipse what came before (“Fallout” was the series high), director Christopher McQuarrie delivers a formidable concept and several hall-of-fame set-pieces while somehow also managing to tie the storylines back into these movies’ core mythology.

They should call it Mission: Exceptional. Given that this is a series that began on television 57 years ago and over the past 27 years has delivered seven big feature films, no one would be terribly surprised if it were to begin flagging a bit. But Tom Cruise & Co. will have none of that; to the contrary, this new entry, officially called Dead Reckoning Part One, ramps up the excitement and sheer flat-out impressiveness to a new level, with the absolute final piece of the puzzle already shot and due to open in a year’s time.

Tom Cruise turns 61 on Monday, marking more than four decades since he broke on to the Hollywood scene and started his ascension to the mega-famous movie star we know today.Born on July 3, 1962, in Syracuse, New York, Cruise got his start in bit movie parts before a breakout year in 1983, in which he starred in and his breakthrough hit, But it was in the 1990s when Cruise began to hit his stride as box office magic. From 1992-96, he made history when he starred in five consecutive movies that grossed $100 million or more in the United States: and .His starring role as Ethan Hunt in has also been a blockbuster boon.

Tom Cruise took on a dangerous new sport for "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One." Cruise, 60, performs his own stunts and the actor chose speedflying for his latest film.

Tom Cruise is bringing more death-defying stunts than ever before to In a new behind-the-scenes clip from the upcoming action flick, Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie headed to the Lake District in northwest England to film the franchise star participating in «one of the most dangerous sports in the world,» speedflying. «While it may look similar, speedflying is not skydiving,» McQuarrie explains in the clip. «Skydiving is fairly predictable, speedflying is incredibly unpredictable.»While skydivers look for an open field to land in comfortably, for speedflyers, the point is to accelerate and spiral as close as possible to the mountains and rock formations — just feet off the ground — before landing at a high rate of speed.The intense scenes were too dangerous to film with a helicopter or drone, so the crew had to construct their own gimbal system, rigging up two cameras to track Cruise's rapid descent down the mountains, reaching speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.«It is truly a one-of-a-kind adventure,» McQuarrie says in the clip of directing Cruise through his increasingly daring stunts in thefilms.
