Tom Cruise's 'Top Gun: Maverick' global premiere went down on the USS Midway

What’s the best way to premiere the new Top Gun: Maverick movie? How about boarding the USS Midway for an epic red carpet reveal?

The footage is shocking and exciting - combined - with Tom Cruise and company all around. Buckle up and get ready for the late May full premiere.

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick 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.” Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.

Tom Cruise really went sky high filming 'Top Gun: Maverick'
