Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

Despite gaining his helicopter pilot license in 1994, the action star sustained multiple injuries whilst shooting a chopper scene that sees his character Ethan loose his grasp and fall seven feet from the aircraft. Cruise had to reshoot the scene five times, getting the wind knocked out of him upon impact.

In another scene, Ethan smashes into the edge of a roof when attempting to leap between two buildings chasing August Walker (Henry Cavil).

The impact shattered Tom's ankle for real.

He said: “I was chasing Henry and was meant to hit the side of the wall and pull myself over but the mistake was my foot hitting the wall.

“I knew instantly my ankle was broken and I really didn’t want to do it again so just got up and carried on with the take. I said, ‘It’s broken. That’s a wrap. Take me to hospital,’ and then everyone got on the phone and made their vacation arrangement.”
