Tom Cruise's preparation to become Pete "Maverick" Mitchell for the movie Top Gun: Maverick. The long wait for the sequel is discussed, and the depth brought to the movie by the themes of aging, mortality, and the passage of time is highlighted. In the second part, Tom Cruise's Flight-Training Program is discussed, which he started to prepare himself and his castmates to perform while safely handling the intensity of the Gs. The program included an aerial boot camp that everyone had to go through to build up their G-force tolerance and get ready to feel the pressure of the cockpit.

Top Gun: Maverick was directed by Joseph Kosinski
