‘Top Gun: Maverick’ Is Coming to Digital: Here’s Everything We Know

After three, long months since Top Gun: Maverick premiered, we won’t have to rely solely on TikTok to replay that clip of Miles Teller dancing on the beach. Tom Cruise and his hot, mustached sidekicks can take your breath away from the comfort of your own couch when the movie drops on digital Aug. 23. However, we’ll have to wait a bit longer for 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD, which is set to release Nov. 1.

Aside from the movie itself, the digital release also gives fans an additional 110 minutes of “action-packed bonus content,” including “Cleared for Take Off,” a look into the cast’s intense flight training program, and “Breaking New Ground,” which goes behind-the-scenes with the cast and crew as they capture the film’s aerial sequences.

In the feature, “A Love Letter To Aviation,” Cruise shares his passion for the hobby, piloting his own aircraft, a vintage World War II P-51 Mustang. He can later be seen in “Masterclass with Tom Cruise,” where he discusses his career at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.

Further, the “future of aviation is unveiled through an impressive experimental aircraft specially designed for the movie” in the feature, “Forging the Darkstar.” Plus, music videos by Lady Gaga and One Republic will be available on the digital release.

The reboot of the 1986 film brings Cruise back as Maverick, who after 30 years as a top naval aviator must “confront the ghosts of his past” when he returns to TOP GUN to train “an elite group of graduates.” Although, things aren’t as easy when he comes face-to-face with Lt. Bradshaw, played by Teller, who is his former wingman Goose’s son.

Top Gun: Maverick was the No. 1 film of 2022, raking in $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office. Domestically, the film surpassed Titanic, becoming the seventh-highest grossing release in domestic box office history, with total ticket sales of $662 million.
