The Big Picture Any movie fan not living under a rock is well aware of Tom Cruise's affinity for aviation. Having attained a pilot's license in 1994, the 60-year-old actor has put his skills to jaw-dropping use in several films, most dangerously in the Mission: Impossible films and Top Gun: Maverick.
Release Date September 29, 2017 Director Doug Liman Cast Tom Cruise , Domhnall Gleeson , Sarah Wright , Caleb Landry Jones , Jesse Plemons Runtime 115 minutes Main Genre Action Studio Universal Pictures Who Were Pilots Carlos Berl, Jimmy Lee Garland, & Andrew Purwin? Having grown up among aviators in Venezuela, Carlos Berl followed in his family's footsteps and became a pilot himself.
What Happened on the Set of 'American Made'? As cameras were rolling on American Made in Colombia, Berl, Garland, and Purwin were tasked with flying the twin-engine Aerostar 600 from Santa Fe de Antioquia to Medellín after a long day of filming. Embarking on what should've been a 35-mile flight lasting just 20 minutes, the trio took off around 5:30 P.M., only moments after Tom Cruise had departed the set in a helicopter.
The loved ones of Carlos Berl and Andrew Purwin filed lawsuits, each citing negligence on the part of the film production and making claims regarding shortcuts taken at the expense of overall safety. Filed a year after his death, the suit on Berl's behalf alleged that American Made's producers, as well as his fellow co-pilots, pressured him into piloting the notorious Aerostar that he'd not been trained to fly.
