Watch White-Robed Man Chase Down Renegade Truck on Foot & Absolutely Nail Action-Movie Hero Moment in Real Life

Seconds later the truck skidded to a stop and vehicles that had been giving chase were able to surround it, Business Insider noted.
Check out the jaw-dropping sequence:
Unless it was some kind of elaborate hoax, our hero of the moment pulled off a move that's been done heretofore most notably on Hollywood movie sets.
Here's Rambo doing the truck-takeover-via-passenger-door thing in "First Blood" (although he jumps off a hill rather than running after the vehicle, we won't hold that against him):
And Indiana Jones certainly has it all over everybody. In a classic scene from "Raiders of the Lost Ark," he first gets thrown out of a truck, is nearly run over by it, pulls himself back inside (sliding on his belly over sand and gravel at high speeds), and then retakes it...using the passenger door!
