Cruise began his mission by appearing live on "TRL" in Times Square, which held a premiere -- Cruise's first of the day -- for the show's audience. Traveling by fire truck to the 34th St. heliport, Cruise flew in an Aerospatiale AS355 around the Statue of Liberty, landing at Pier 6. There, a Confederate F131 Hellcat motorcycle was waiting for him; Cruise rode to the Tribeca Performing Arts Center for his second premiere of the day. Leaving Tribeca via a Saleen Mustang S281 Extreme sports car, Cruise sped to the South Cove boat launch, where he took a 51-foot Sea Ray Sundancer up the Hudson River to Harlem. Landing at the pier at 135th St. and 12th Ave., Cruise drove a Maybach 62 to the Magic Johnson Theatre, where he hosted his third premiere. Running around the corner to the subway station, Cruise caught the D train, which took him to the Ziegfeld Theatre and the fourth and final premiere on his mission.
