Mission Impossible 5's airplane stunt Tom Cruise's most daring scene yet?

Tom Cruise is known for performing his own stunts for action movies and the Mission: Impossible 5 scene where the actor has performed a stunt at 5,000ft in the air is being considered his best stunt ever.

The pictures clicked on the set of the movie shows that the 52-year-old actor clambers from a door of the Airbus A400M Atlas military transporter as it takes off and then desperately holds on as it circles at 250mph, the Daily Express reported.

A source on the set asserted that the action scene was easily the most "outrageous" stunt Cruise had ever done and crew was clapping and cheering for the actor when it was all over.

Mission: Impossible 5 is set for release on December 25, 2015.
