Tom Cruise and friends can fly above the doubters of "Top Gun: Maverick" has been nominated for Best Picture at the 2023 Academy Awards. And the good news is that some people can watch it for free as well as stream it online. [Top Gun Nominated for Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Music (Original Song, "Hold My Hand" by Lady Gaga and Brad Popp), Best Sound and Best Visual Effects, "Top Gun: Maverick" will feature Tom Cruise again as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell ...

Mitchell is brought in to train a new generation of graduates who are resented in some way by their superiors, but given a near impossible (which is why we call Tom Cruise) task.) One of these cadets happens to be Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw (Miles Teller), who happens to be the son of former wingman Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, who died in the first Top Gun.

Mitchell and Rooster's nonexistent relationship helped 'Top Gun: Maverick' more than earn box office receipts with great visuals. It also co-starred Jennifer Connelly as Penny Benjamin, who was only mentioned in the first "Top Gun".
