Tom Cruise is all set to return as Ethan Hunt with the latest instalment of the action-packed Mission Impossible franchise. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One will hit the theatres on July 12. Cruise has shared a behind-the-scenes video from the sets of the film where he talks about a daredevil train sequence.
Tom Cruise recently took to Instagram and shared a video of his train fight sequence.
In the video, Tom Cruise along with his director can be seen explaining how the entire sequence was executed. The clip from the train sequence, which was shot in Norway and UK, shows Tom Cruise and the entire team executing the scene.
“This train sequence was tricky, but the outcome made it all worth it. I can’t wait for everyone to see it come to life!” Tom Cruise wrote in the caption.

Director Christopher McQuarrie, in the video, said that they wanted to build upon their previous films and apply that knowledge to make something “practical and real.” The filmmaker was possibly referring to the train sequence in the first Mission Impossible movie which ends with a helicopter crash in a tunnel.
McQuarrie added that his team had to build the train for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning as a “surplus of trains” wasn’t available. The sequence was shot in Norway and the United Kingdom.
McQuarrie said, “We had to build the train if we wanted to destroy it. To shoot it was particularly challenging. Not just to execute. But also to design all the different trains and cars that could actually function on working railway tracks. In this level of practical filmmaking, this may never be done again. The train sequence takes us on an adventure that is absolutely huge. There is a big fight on the roof….Going 60 miles an hour through a real valley.”
