In the last decade, the pair have collaborated on six movies (three with McQuarrie as director), and each time they’ve found a new reason to push their ambitions—as well as push new stunts that sometimes can include Cruise dangling from the side of a plane or, in the case of this month’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout, jumping out of one at 25,000 feet....
