This is the most dangerous life threatening stunt in movie history! In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning, when Tom Cruise jumps off of a mountain cliff with a motorcycle, and then pulls the cord to release his parachute to land at the base of a mountain- he was risking his life, for the most spectacular stunt in movie history!
This death defying part of the movie was 4 years in the making, and Tom Cruise put in months, and 10,000 hours of training on motorcycles, parachute gliding and base jumping- over 500 Skydives, over 13,000 Motocross jumps, to nail this scene perfectly, as you will see in this video segment- that will take you behind the scenes with Tom, the Directors, trainers, stunt experts, cinematographers, helicopter, drone, and crew that put this epic scene together! Believe it or not Tom completed this death defying jump 6 times for this movie!

We recommend that you see this epic movie in the large screen format: Imax, 3D, ICE, or the Max4D: “MX4D” version where your seat moves and rocks you in sync to the scenes in the movie, with special effects like rain, fog, mist, smell, strobe lights, and bumping movements, called “Pokers” pushing in on you, on the bottom and back of your seats! Now at a theater near you!

MX4D® Motion EFX Theatre, the newest evolution in the 4D cinema experience, provides a totally immersive environment, where you actually “feel” the action on the screen from the built-in motion and effects in the seats and theatre around you. 4DX is a state-of-the-art film technology developed by CJ 4DPLEX which delivers an immersive multi-sensory cinematic experience. 4DX incorporates on-screen visuals with synchronized motion seats and environmental effects such as water, wind, fog, scent, snow and more, to enhance the action on screen. 4DX really makes the movie going memorable and that makes it more than worth it!
MX4D is a 4D film presentation system developed by the American company MediaMation that allows a film to be augmented with environmental effects, such as motion, odors, and humidity. It uses theater seats which tilt forward, backward, and to the side in synchronization with onscreen motion, as well as air blasts, tactile effects, and other technology.
All functions and effects of the system are driven by compressed air, which is stored in tanks at a pressure of 100-110psi/6.0-7.5bar. Each bench, consisting of 3 or 4 seats grouped together, is driven by 3 cylinders. Those cylinders are used for up/down, forward/backward and right/left movement. All the electronics and valves used for the effects are stored under each bench hidden by black leader, which also insures that no debris like popcorn gets onto the electronics.
Each seat has the following functions:
- 3 small cylinders (called “Pokers”), 1 in the backrest and 2 in the seating surface to simulate tactile feedback like punches.
- 2 nozzles, one in each armrest, for water and air blasts and 2 air nozzles in the backrest to tickle the users neck.
- 2 vents for wind, one in each armrest driven by small laptop like fans.
- A pair of canisters for scents (candy, coffee, fresh cut grass, chocolate, whiskey, smoke, dirt or engine exhaust fumes). Each movie comes with its own required set of scents, which need to be changed before a movie premieres.
- A thin hose to tickle the users lower legs, for effects like running through grass.
- A but kicker for low rumble like felt in a car ride.
There are other effects mounted throughout the auditorium:
- A set of nozzles mounted under the ceiling for rain.
- A pair of strobe lights for lightning or gunshots.
- Snow and bubble machines.
- Vents under the screen connected to fog machines.
The whole system can be controlled via a PC or tablet connected via W-LAN, to test or deactivate benches or certain effects. A test of all movements and effects is done by cinema employees before each day of screening to ensure all functions are working properly.
