FSK 12 | Director: Jim Cash, Ehren Kruger | with: Tom Cruise, Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly
The life of former flying ace Maverick (Tom Cruise) has become much quieter over the years. Exciting missions like the ones he was allowed to fly in his younger years have long been a thing of the past. As a flight instructor, it is now more his job to show the next generation of pilots what is important in the cockpit. He enjoys being able to pass on his knowledge. At the same time, however, he is more than aware that his profession is increasingly threatened with extinction. Even though he still clings to his passion, Maverick is slowly realizing that the human element is playing an ever smaller role in air traffic. Flying drones are now taking over the dangerous missions that he and his colleagues once flew themselves. One day, however, he unexpectedly has to climb back into the cockpit. A particularly delicate mission requires his many years of experience and his sophisticated instincts.
