While the wind was a factor in Tom Cruise's self-completed stunt on the Burj Kalifah (though less of a problem than the massive force Cruise faced when he did a stunt hanging from a cargo plane in the next M:I film), the sequence used cables that were so strong and numerous (edited out of the shot with CGI) that the only way Cruise would have been endangered would have been having a plane slam into the building during filming.
Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Ethan Hunt and his team are racing against time to track down a dangerous terrorist named Hendricks, who has gained access to Russian nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on the United States. An attempt to stop him ends in an explosion causing severe destruction to the Kremlin and the IMF to be implicated in the bombing, forcing the President to disavow them. No longer being aided by the government, Ethan and his team chase Hendricks around the globe, although they might still be too late to stop a disaster.
