00:00Flying the whole time.

00:01The bed's good right there.

00:02Okay, drive set, drive set.

00:04Okay, shoot me.

00:05You're flying please, thank you.

00:07Just stay ahead of him.

00:10Here we are rolling.

00:11Here we go, we're set.

00:13And three, two, one, action.

00:24This Fosmer is just breathtakingly beautiful.

00:26We're in an absolutely remarkable place to be able to film.

00:30It is a unique experience.

00:33If you want to shoot the ice cap,

00:35you're going when the temperatures are absolutely their most extreme.

00:39And of course, the Arctic hit us right in the face.

00:43You can't fake being in minus 40 degrees.

00:45Take your gloves off for a few seconds.

00:48Your fingers start to freeze.

00:50Being in an environment like that adds to the suspense and the drama.

00:54I want to give audiences an experience of being there.

00:59It was a real privilege to do it.

01:00It looks amazing on the screen.

01:08Everything we're doing is underwater.

01:10We all know it's a dangerous place.

01:13We've developed hand signals underwater,

01:15talking to understanding.

01:16Depth or frame, do it again.

01:19All of these things, there's a lot of stuff happening.

01:21We have different signals for performance.

01:33Close-up, longer, fun resting.

01:37Once we got the hand signals,

01:39it made things a lot more efficient.

01:41But shooting underwater bears always a sense of danger.

01:44I'm going to straighten out.

01:53Yeah.

01:54Look at this, it's an altar.

01:56Shooting in the mine,

01:57the scale of it is absolutely enormous.

01:59It is an incredible practical location.

02:02It was taking everything we had learned

02:05from every other car chase and leveling it up.

02:07When we looked at the terrain,

02:09we recognized that this is going to require

02:11something more rugged.

02:12And we wanted to see Tom driving.

02:15And that's when we decided on Jeep.

02:16Let's reset and do one more.

02:18You'll see we put it through its paces.

02:20The power in these Jeeps was just amazing.

02:23You guys ready?

02:24Go hard, go hard.

02:25It is the most extreme

02:55practical action ever filmed.

02:59Tom and I are completely devoted to

03:01the biggest experience possible.

03:05And there is no bigger format than IMAX.

03:08What it brings to the story

03:09really is quite immersive.

03:13From a character's journey to the landscapes,

03:16every aspect is there on the screen.

03:20The philosophy of Mission Impossible

03:21is to transport an audience

03:23to a place they've never been,

03:24a place they may never be able to go.

03:27Seeing it on IMAX,

03:28it invests you in that world.

03:29This is cinema.

03:30This is the experience

03:31that is defining for an audience.

03:38Three, two, one.

03:41You can't imagine how physically punishing

03:43it was for Tom to be on the wing.

03:48The wind distorts your vision.

03:52It's almost impossible to breathe.

04:24We're going to go 10,000, but if we can get 12,000, we'll go 20 knots forward.

04:33What I'd like to do is accelerate the next jump, and I'd like to kind of do it as quickly

04:37as possible the next one, and I'll build up to it, go faster, faster, faster, and put

04:42myself to a worst-case scenario, and how fast does it take me to recover, which all of these

04:47cases are recoverable.

04:50Here, let's put this on, please.

04:52Let's check the frame again.

04:54Yeah.

04:54That's my hand position.

04:56Your hand position is good.

04:57There you go.

04:58You can even hold it a little lower there.

04:59I just know I'm going to be like this.

05:01Okay.

05:02My hand will be, I'll be like this.

05:04That's better.

05:05It gives you a lot more margin for error.

05:07Let's talk about safety.

05:08We do the same exit.

05:09I'll be in an accelerated spin.

05:11Really, what do we want to see in this frame?

05:12Yes.

05:12We want to see me falling.

05:14Yes.

05:14And then I throw it, and it's like, hold.

05:16Okay, let's do it, guys.

05:23Okay!

05:23Three, two, one, go!
