Tom Cruise starrer Top Gun: Maverick heads for a streaming release on Prime Video; will stream from December 26

Prime Video today announced the exclusive at-launch streaming premiere of Top Gun: Maverick, the sequel to the 1986 super-hit film Top Gun. Released 36 years after the first part, Top Gun: Maverick not only received rave reviews from critics but also became the eleventh highest-grossing film worldwide this year. The film became the first film post-Covid to join the billion-dollar club internationally and is amongst the highest-earning sequels of all time.

With Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer reprising their roles as Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell and Admiral Tom respectively, Top Gun: Maverick follows Pete’s journey as a test pilot and flight instructor, who has been assigned to train a group of Top Gun graduates for a specialised mission. Initially reluctant to take up the job, Maverick agrees, at the behest of his old colleague and friend Ice. But amidst a life-threatening mission, Maverick is forced to confront the ghosts from his past, when he encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. Fans of the first film can expect to see Maverick back in the cockpit, putting on his aviator sunglasses and leather jacket to hit the road on his motorcycle.
