Tom Cruise turned a mission: impossible landing into one that was possible – thanks to a family in the UK allowing him to land his helicopter in their Warwickshire garden.
The "Mission: Impossible" star, who is currently filming the latest "Mission: Impossible," was due to land at Coventry Airport, but it was temporarily closed.
According to BBC, the Webb family had only been told an unnamed VIP needed somewhere to land as the nearby airport was shut.
"I thought it would be kind of cool for the kids to see the helicopter land in the garden," Alison Webb told BBC.
"He went straight over to the children for a chat, then came over and elbow bumped us and said thank you very much," she said. "Then he said if the kids would like they could go up in the helicopter."
"It turned out to be an incredible day. It was surreal, I still now can't believe it happened," she continued.
Cruise has been spotted filming "Mission: Impossible" all over the UK. Birmingham Transport Police shared a photo on Tuesday of their officers alongside a masked Cruise and wrote on Twitter "I promise you, this isn't photoshopped."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, production was halted in June due to a positive COVID-19 test during routine testing.
