Hollywood legend Tom Cruise continues to push the limits of action, and how! The star has performed several death-defying stunts, be it jumping from the tallest buildings, taking his bike off a high mountain, and more- but there's no stopping him when it comes to action. In his latest X post, Tom was seen pulling off another scary and extraordinary action sequence- right from the hinges of a low-hanging aircraft. So much so, that any misstep, and it would end in unthinkable injury for the star.

No margin for error
In the clip, Tom is seen hanging right above the main wheel of the aircraft, without any protective gear or support. As the aircraft flew dangerously close to the ground, and traced a mountainous region filled with rocks, Tom held on to the gear tightly. The voiceover added, “With low-level flying, there is absolutely zero margin for error. At altitudes between 5 and 20 feet, above the water above the rocks. If there is a downdraft, there is no room for correction. The plane is going in.” The scene then cuts to black and zeroes in on the title of the film.
