Top Gun Maverick is breaking box office numbers with every passing day. The film has been called Tom Cruise’s biggest domestic earner ever and, that statement is saying something. From the otherworldly cinematography to the emotional drama that makes the core of the film, this latest Cruise film has cruised through our hearts with success in every aspect. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, this action drama is written by Ehren Kruger, Eric Warren Singer and Christopher McQuarrie from a story by Peter Craig and Justin Marks.
Serving as a direct sequel to the 1986 classic Top Gun, this latest film has some of the stars from the previous film reprising their roles with an introduction to some new ones.

The cast also features Miles Teller, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Monica Barbaro in important roles. The film is set 30 years after the events of the 1986 movie, where we see Maverick return to the Top Gun program as an instructor and is tasked to prepare a new batch of aviators for a dangerous mission, with one aviator being his dead best friend, Goose’ son Rooster.
