Tom Cruise Honors ‘Top Gun’ Co-Star Val Kilmer With Moment of Silence at CinemaCon: ‘I Wish You Well on the Next Journey’


Tom Cruise paid tribute to his "Top Gun" co-star Val Kilmer, who died on Tuesday at the age of 65.

“Top Gun” was a huge commercial success, earning $350 million globally — the highest-grossing film of the year — and making Cruise and Kilmer full-blown movie stars. In the sequel, Iceman is battling terminal cancer and Maverick confides in him one last time as he decides whether or not to send trainee Rooster (Miles Teller) on a potentially fatal mission. “Top Gun: Maverick” went on to far surpass the commercial and critical acclaim of the original, making over $1.4 billion worldwide and earning six Oscar nominations, including best picture.
