The crew behind "Mission: Impossible 7" was forced to halt production earlier this year because of coronavirus regulations and resumed in September with safety measures in place.
New leaked audio published by the UK tabloid The Sun on Tuesday captures the franchise's star, Tom Cruise, yelling angrily at crew members at Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden, England, after COVID-19 safety rules were broken.
"And if you don't do it, you're fired," he says in the audio. "I see you do it again, you're f---ing gone."
He seemingly goes on to point out several other people, making his point clear to a larger group.
"No apologies," Cruise says. "You can tell it to the people that are losing their f---ing homes because our industry is shut down. It's not going to put food on their table or pay for their college education."
Two sources close to the production confirmed to Variety that it was Cruise's voice on the recording.
Representatives for Cruise and Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.
"He flew into a rage after spotting two of the crew standing within 2 meters of each other," The Sun reported.
A statement under a section for COVID-19 health and safety info on the website of Warner Bros. Studios in Leavesden says "the welfare of our clients and colleagues is our primary concern."
"I'm on the phone with every f---ing studio at night, insurance companies, producers, and they're looking at us and using us to make their movies," Cruise says in The Sun's audio. "We are creating thousands of jobs you motherf---ers."
At one point, his voice raises even higher as he says, "We are not shutting this f---ing movie down!"

Production on movies and TV shows has resumed in the US with safety measures in place, like required face coverings and social-distancing mandates. Even with guidelines in place, COVID-19 outbreaks have still happened.
Just last week, 16 cases were recorded at a CBS studios building in Los Angeles, according to Variety.
Cruise has been a public advocate for the movie industry in the wake of COVID-19's effect on studios, theaters, and more. Over the summer, he posted a video on Twitter showing his experience going to a movie theater in the UK to see "Tenet."
"It is great to be back in a movie theater, everybody," he says in the video.
