The thrilling train scene in 'Mission: Impossible 7' has been compared to 'Uncharted 2' by fans.

After a series of breathtaking stunts, Tom Cruise and co-star Haley Atwell are seen clinging to the side of a freight car as the lower carriages slowly drop off a cliff.

Fans asked, 'Have you played 'Uncharted' and were you influenced by it?' Christopher McQuarrie replied, denying any inspiration from 'Uncharted' as he has very little knowledge about video games.

Previously, the term 'Uncharted' was used in a literal sense in the movie 'Mission: Impossible 5'.

Finally, Christopher McQuarrie mentioned that the only video game he ever played was 'Unreal Tournament'.

IGN pointed out that a similar scene can be found in the 1997 movie 'Jurassic Park', where a vehicle was escaping a cliff, though it was a boxcar, not a train.

Additionally, some 'Mission: Impossible' fans believe Tom Cruise's train suspension scene is a homage to climbing cliffs barehanded in 'Mission: Impossible 2' and scaling the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, in 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol'. They consider it an Easter egg.
