Top Gun: Maverick It was released more than three decades after the original story of Top Gun. Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a highly decorated test pilot, is denied promotion to a higher rank for insubordination. After learning that Admiral Chester “Hammer” Cain had canceled his hypersonic Darkstar scramjet program, Maverick decided he would show what could be achieved with the aircraft.
After the prototype aircraft was destroyed during a test flight on March 10, Maverick was sent to the Top Gun Young Graduate Training School. He later headed a team to destroy an illegal uranium plant. Maverick also concerns personal issues such as his relationship with her deceased best friend's son. In the end, Maverick and his team accomplish their mission by accepting what was in the past.
This film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, won the Best Picture award from the National Board of Review. It also made it to the American Film Institute's Top Ten Films of 2022. The nostalgia factor combined with high-action adventure and a popular star like Tom Cruise is enough to attract cinephiles. It was nominated for six awards at the 95th Academy Awards and won for Best Sound. The film earned $1.496 billion and was the second-highest-grossing film of 2022 as well as Cruise's highest-grossing film of all time.
