Watch Tom Cruise defy physics in new "Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" trailer

"Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation," the fifth in Tom Cruise's spy series, has a few punch lines amidst the punches and blasts.

"Are you okay to drive?" Simon Pegg's Benji asks Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt in a new trailer released Thursday. "A minute ago you were dead."

In the next installment following 2011's "Ghost Protocol," Cruise joins Jeremy Renner, Pegg and a serious Alec Baldwin in perhaps the most daring, if not impossible, mission yet. The new concept is from director Christopher McQuarrie, who's previous work includes writing for Cruise films "Jack Reacher" and "Valkyrie."

This time Ethan is assigned to the total destruction of the Syndicate, the international rogue terrorist organization that wants bring down the IMF. The extra comic relief for "Rogue Nation" may be necessary to balance the suspense of Cruise's plane-dangling, aqueduct diving and crazy driving as the film drops into theaters July 31.
