Tom Cruise stopped by last night's The Daily Show to chat about his upcoming action adventure 'Oblivion.' When asked by host Jon Stewart how he still manages to pull off the physically demanding stunts, the 50-year-old actor shared, "I don't know, I have no idea. A lot of training." Joked Stewart, "Is it Advil?" to which Cruise replied, "You know, every now and then, yes!" Check out the appearance below!

Oblivion will open in theaters on April 19. Along with Cruise the action film stars Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, and Melissa Leo. It is based on Joseph Kosinski and Arvid Nelson's graphic novel. Kosinski directed the film with a screenplay by William Monahan, KARL GAJDUSEK, and Michael Arndt.

OBLIVION is decribed as "an original and groundbreaking cinematic event from the director of TRON: Legacy and the producer of Rise of the Planet of the Apes. On a spectacular future Earth that has evolved beyond recognition, one man's confrontation with the past will lead him on a journey of redemption and discovery as he battles to save mankind.

Jack Harper (Cruise) is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack's mission is nearly complete.

Living in and patrolling the breathtaking skies from thousands of feet above, his soaring existence is brought crashing down when he rescues a beautiful stranger from a downed spacecraft. Her arrival triggers a chain of events that forces him to question everything he knows and puts the fate of humanity in his hands."
