What Christopher McQuarrie said
During the interview, the director discussed the film and remarked, "We held a small screening, and one viewer commented, 'I felt like I was suffocating throughout the entire sequence. I nearly experienced a heart attack.' At that moment, I thought, 'It seems we achieved our goal.'" Christopher McQuarrie has been at the helm of every instalment in the film series since Rogue Nation.
Tom Cruise, portraying Ethan Hunt, is well-acquainted with perilous stunts in the Mission Impossible franchise.
