“Where have all the heroes gone? Some of them, like Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, are still out there reaching for the heavens. Joseph Kosinski’s sequel to the iconic 1986 Tony Scott film Top Gun brings back star Tom Cruise as Maverick, now a middle-aged test pilot still trying to outrun his ghosts. Delivering the same edge-of-your seat thrill-ride experience as the original, the film employs real-world aerial stunts and camera work, captivating audiences now more accustomed to CGI-everything. Top Gun: Maverick has already found its place in the history books as the movie that brought mass audiences back to cinemas after two years of pandemic doldrums.” -MoMA
