Top Gun: Maverick had been breaking records at the box office earlier this year. In fact, it went on to become the highest-grossing movie of Tom Cruise’s entire movie star career. It’s safe to say it was the movie of the summer. It went on to make upwards of $1.48 billion, which caused it to become one of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
The Hollywood Reporter reveals the aerial combat action film is set to hit streaming this December on Paramount+. The streaming service has announced, “the #1 film of 2022, Top Gun: Maverick, will be available to stream globally on the service beginning Thursday, Dec. 22 in the U.S., as well as in Canada, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Italy and previously announced markets – the U.K. and Latin America. It will be available in South Korea and France in 2023.”
The official synopsis reads, “After more than 30 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,” the film’s plot description reads. “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.”
The film was recently released on 4K UHD blu-ray, but in August, the movie became available for premium on-demand with a price of $19.99, and it soared to the top of the viewing charts. It would hit the top once again in September when it became available for $5.99.
