Tom Cruise was on top of the world in London Sunday night — or at least on top of the BFI Imax cinema.

Tom Cruise might be best known today for throwing himself out of planes and off riding motorcycles of cliffs in the Mission: Impossible franchise, but back in 1996, launching a spy thriller as both star and producer was anything but a guaranteed hit.

Tom Cruise is Hollywood’s resident daredevil. The 62-year-old has become famous for completing death-defying stunts in his movies, notably the Mission: Impossible franchise. While playing Ethan Hunt, Cruise hung off the side of an airplane, performed a HALO jump at 25,000 feet, and drove a motorcycle off a cliff before skydiving to safety.
