When Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell is accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots, his rash attitude and cocky demeanour causes some friction with his instructors and fellow classmates. Tom Cruise the action star was born in this iconic, adrenaline-fuelled hit. The actor-star’s natural cool and winning charisma were perfectly fused in this role – Maverick’s bravado and bravery made Cruise an irresistible hero.
