The biggest-budget blockbuster ever to be filmed in Dubai, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol – the fourth movie in the franchise – is famous for the nail-biting stunt where Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, hangs off the Burj Khalifa. The Burj stunt alone took 23 days and required some 400 crew members on hand to ensure that bankable star Cruise, who insisted on doing the stunt himself, was kept safe at all times. While visitors can't recreate the scene themselves, they can scale the world's tallest tower by elevator and be rewarded with incredible skyline views from the At the Top observation deck.
