Tom Cruise will be returning to the role of Ethan Hunt after a five-year hiatus, in the upcoming film MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL. The film will follow Hunt and his team as they fight to clear the organization's name. It was written by a team which features 'Lost' creator JJ Abrams, and is being directed by Brad Bird (Ratatouille, The Incredibles).

In the film, Tom Cruise fearlessly climbs up the world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, in Dubai without using any body double.  In the promo clip below, Cruise is seen dangling off the skyscraper which height is not less than 2,723 feet. He is also seen bravely running up, down and sideways on the exterior of the building.

The film debuts in US cinemas on December 21, 2011.
