Cruise, Watch Out! Sweeney Pulls Off Daring Plane Stunt

  • On Monday, Sydney Sweeney shared an Instagram video of herself performing a wing-walking stunt on an in-flight biplane, jokingly captioning the clip, "Watch out Tom Cruise."
  • Her stunt appeared to reference one of Cruise's most daring sequences in 2025's The Final Reckoning, where he performed similar high-altitude wing-walking.
  • Cruise famously performed his stunt on an 80-year-old Stearman biplane at 8,000 feet traveling around 140 mph, while Sweeney wore a safety vest and protective goggles.
  • The Top Gun Instagram account responded to the footage with the franchise's famous line, "Feel the need for speed," though Cruise himself has remained quiet.
  • Longtime Mission Impossible writer-director Christopher McQuarrie detailed the extreme danger of the original sequence, noting that Cruise faced potential hypothermia while filming in South Africa.
