Sydney Sweeney told Tom Cruise to “watch out” after taking her stunt game into the sky. The “Euphoria” star shared a wing-walking video that showed her strapped to a plane mid-flight. The aircraft then completed turns and rolls, sending her upside down. The stunt drew comparisons to Cruise’s aerial work in “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.”

Sydney Sweeney posted the stunt clip on Instagram. The actress was seen standing on top of a plane while wearing safety goggles. She was also secured with straps and a red safety vest. In the caption, she wrote, “watch out tom cruise.” The plane then completed several turns and rolls. At one point, Sweeney was turned fully upside down during the flight.

Meanwhile, the reactions tied her challenge directly to Tom Cruise’s screen legacy. The official “Top Gun” account commented, “Feel the need for speed.” Global action entertainment brand Nitro Circus also wrote, “Come fly with us Sydney!” According to Ladbible, the Wing Walk Company appeared to confirm the stunt was done in the UK. The company commented, “You were brilliant….we LOVED having you!” Her friend Eddy Chen added, “thank gawd I didn’t go.”

However, the Cruise comparison had a specific movie reference. People reported that Sweeney’s stunt recalled “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning.” In that film, Cruise performed a high-altitude wing-walking sequence on a Stearman biplane. The sequence involved the plane rolling, looping, and reaching 140 mph. Cruise was also 8,000 feet in the air during that stunt.

Still, Sydney Sweeney has recently leaned into more physical roles and risky experiences. People noted that the “Anyone But You” actress had shared videos of bungee jumping, helicopters, and speedboats. She also bulked up for the boxing biopic “Christy.” In that film, she played professional boxer Christy Martin. For Sydney Sweeney and Tom Cruise, the wing-walking clip turned one Instagram dare into a Hollywood stunt comparison.
