WATCH | Tom Cruise runs and runs in viral promo of Mission Impossible 7

A promotion video for Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One shows Tom Cruise running non-stop. Shared on the actor's 61st birthday, the video is a compilation of every scene in the Mission: Impossible movies in which Cruise is running from 1 to 6. And boy, there appear to be a lot of them. He runs from assorted goons, he runs from the water, he runs in the streets, he runs up a building, he runs down Burj Khalifa, he takes a breather and then he runs from a missile. You can watch the fun video below. Dead Reckoning Part One is the first of a two-film arc and is directed by returning filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie.

What is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One all about?

With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan's past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission -- not even the lives of those he cares about most."
