The sixth Mission: Impossible sends Ethan Hunt from the rooftops of London to a cliff-edge helicopter duel in Norway – and Tom Cruise did an alarming amount of it for real, including a rooftop leap that broke his ankle mid-shot, in a take the film kept.
Where was Mission: Impossible – Fallout filmed?
Fallout was filmed in London, Paris, Norway (the cliff finale) and New Zealand (as Kashmir).
Every Fallout location, explained
1
London – the rooftop run
The film uses landmark London – St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern and the rooftops where Cruise made his infamous leap.
2
Paris – the chase
The motorbike and car chases tear through Paris, from the Arc de Triomphe to the Palais Royal.
3
Norway – the cliff-edge finale
The climactic helicopter battle was shot at Preikestolen (Pulpit Rock) in Norway, its sheer cliff standing in for Kashmir.
4
New Zealand as Kashmir
The wider Kashmir valley scenes used the mountains of New Zealand, around Queenstown.
Planning a visit
London‘s St Paul’s and the Tate Modern are easy central stops, while Norway’s Preikestolen – a dramatic clifftop reachable by a popular hike – delivers the finale’s vertigo.
