About
As of 2026, it's 4 years old.
Top Gun: Maverick arrived 36 years after the original and did the impossible — it was even better, a genuine theatrical event that lured audiences back to cinemas with real fighter jets, practical stunts (the actors really flew), and a perfectly engineered nostalgia hit. It became one of the highest-grossing films ever almost on goodwill alone.
Tom Cruise's commitment to doing it for real, the white-knuckle flight sequences, and the legacy emotion turned a legacy sequel into a triumph.
Thrilling, nostalgic, and improbably excellent, Top Gun: Maverick is the decades-later sequel that had no business being this good and was anyway.
