Tom Cruise is known for performing action stunts for his films, but on the set of Mission: Impossible – Fallout, it cost him dearly. During one of the rooftop chases in London, Cruise misjudged a leap and crashed into the side of the building, breaking his ankle upon landing. Miraculously, he hauled himself back up and completed the shot before getting medical help. The scene, though his actual injury, made the final cut. Director Christopher McQuarrie praised his resilience and revealed that the production resumed shortly after weeks in recovery.
