In his new film, out in US theatres May 27, Cruise's hotshot pilot Maverick returns to the Navy's elite TOPGUN fighter weapons school where he earned his wings to train the latest batch of cocky young aviators. Cruise's original film popularised the concept of the"wingman", and he said viewers particularly connected with the closeness of relationships in the world of aviation.
"I always knew that's how I wanted to open the movie, right from the beginning, just to allow the audience to go 'you're gonna get what you , trust me'," said Cruise.
