Tom Cruise returns as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, ready to push the limits of fighter jets and test the boundaries of nostalgia. It’s fast, it’s loud, and it’s somehow one of the biggest box office hits of all time. But is Top Gun: Maverick a masterpiece—or just a very expensive recruitment ad for the Navy? From high-altitude dogfights to shirtless beach volleyball (again), Maverick is packed with throwbacks to the original Top Gun—but does it actually have anything new to say? And what’s up with Cruise still looking 35? Welcome tackles the big questions so you don’t have to.
