In this immersive behind-the-scenes featurette, Paramount Pictures highlights one of the wildest visual techniques in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: the Snorri rig. Attached directly to Tom Cruise’s body during high-intensity action scenes, this custom camera setup captures the world from Ethan Hunt’s exact point of view—tilting, spinning, and jolting with every movement.

Director Christopher McQuarrie and DP Fraser Taggart discuss the rig’s origins, its creative intent, and the technical challenges of filming while Cruise dangles off cliffs, dodges explosions, and fights mid-sprint. Cruise, ever the adrenaline-fueled auteur, embraces the rig’s disorienting realism as a way to bring audiences deeper into the film’s most nerve-shredding moments.

It’s an approach that doesn’t just document stunts—it transforms them into subjective, surreal experiences. With The Final Reckoning, Mission: Impossible continues to evolve the language of blockbuster cinema, one daring shot at a time.
