Clint Eastwood Went Full Tom Cruise in This Action Movie Where He Did All His Own Stunts (And Directed!)

Considered by many as the last true movie star in Hollywood, Tom Cruise goes out of his way to execute death-defying stunts on the big screen. Whether it’s rock climbing without a harness in Mission: Impossible II or flying his own planes in Top Gun: Maverick, Cruise’s movies always put the audience on the edge of their seat. Yet, in the decades before Cruise’s time, when stars such as Burt Reynolds and Sean Connery embodied the movie star persona, the legendary Clint Eastwood risked life and limb in the international thriller The Eiger Sanction.
