ie stardom, he chased Oscars instead of villains, but when he formed Cruise/ Wagner Productions in the ‘90s and de- cided to produce his own movies, he needed a hit. “I’d been looking for an action movie,” said Cruise, but back then that meant mimicking Stallone or Schwarzenegger. He wanted something intelligent instead. Cruise remembered Mission: Impossi- ble, which had been one of his favour- ite childhood TV shows, where the he- roes used their brains instead of bullets. When he first pitched the idea to Para- mount in 1992, Cruise admits that the studio was sceptical, but they nonethe- less took the gamble. Cruise hired Bri- an De Palma to direct, a wicked geni- us who’d never made a blockbuster hit, and turned Jim Phelps into the vil- lain (portrayed by Jon Voight).

ć enost vratolomijama. MI: ROGUE NATION
Christopher McQuarrie’s first movie in the series shifted the franchise towards complex espionage storytelling, introducing the Syndicate. With Re- becca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust as a new addition to the team, Rogue Nation added layers of intrigue. McQuarrie leaned into the spy genre’s roots, em- phasising plot twists, covert missions and moral ambiguity. The opening scene, where Cruise hangs from the side of an actual aircraft, set a new bar for commitment to practical stunts. NM: Razilaženje Ovaj film je nastavio da produbljuje emocionalnu i moralnu stranu Itana Hanta. Makvorijev povratak učinio je „Razilaženje“ prvim pravim nastavkom u franšizi, koji se direktno bavi posledicama Han- tovih prošlih odluka i odnosa. Od „halo“ skoka koji oduzima dah do intenzivne jurnjave helikopterom, ovaj nastavak je ispunjen pravim vratolomijama, učvršć ujuć i posveć enost franšize autentičnosti. MI: FALLOUT This film continued to deepen the emotional and moral stakes for Hunt. McQuarrie’s return made Fallout the first true sequel in the franchise, directly addressing the consequences of Hunt’s past deci- sions and relationships. From the breathtaking HA- LO jump to the intense helicopter chase, Fallout is filled with real stunts, solidifying the franchise’s commitment to authenticity.

audiences were immediately hooked on Ethan Hunt, and de Palma undoubtedly made the best film of the series. The stunts are today as big of a selling point as Cruise himself. Teenagers who weren’t alive to see Cruise losing out on Academy Awards (with four nomi- nations and no wins to date) know him as that dude clinging to the outside of a plane. At first, film fans enjoyed watch- ing Cruise execute challenges perfect- ly until he not only broke his ankle leap- ing across a building in Fallout, but even included that take in the film.
