Tom Cruise as Maverick in Top Gun Maverick
A fighter pilot assesses the accuracy of Top Gun: Maverick’s ending sequences. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, Top Gun: Maverick, which was released in 2022, served as a sequel to Tony Scott's Top Gun, originally released in 1986. This sequel brought back Tom Cruise to reprise his role as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, as he returns to train younger pilots for a dangerous mission.
Berke points out that flares can help against infrared missiles. However, the missiles that were shot in the movie’s ending sequences were radar-guided missiles and so, flares that were released by Cruise in the scene would not have helped to stop or prevent them. Read his full comments below: Having to dodge a missile is a really tough thing to do and often doesn’t work out in our favor. The ideal situation before we’re getting shot is to avoid that missile detection situation or try to take out the radar that’s targeting you so while those missiles might be there, the radars that’s guiding those missiles, if we can take that out, we render those missiles useless. I give this scene 7 for realism.
To successfully achieve this, Cruise developed a three-month, intensive training program for his co-stars prior to filming. This program, which included various tests and rigorous physical training, helped prepare the actors to fly in a real F/A 18 Super Hornet when it was time for production. The decision to shoot mostly realistic sequences was made to give viewers a more believable experience.
