Nope he literally teaches the young pilots how to do the mission perfectly then at the end he goes “fuck it” I’ll do it myself and almost get myself killed for no reason.
It was already cheesy at that point, but the part where they were down on the ground & just happened to stumble upon an F-14, took that into the air & used it to defeat much newer airframes really took me out of the immersion.
Honestly, if they’d found a ww1 byplane and the copilot had used a bucket to scoop air from the inside after they got hit or a paddle to make them fly faster, I wouldn’t have found it much more cheesy.
I assume you meant “himself” but I am amused by the idea that Tom Cruise’s character nearly kills a single member of the viewing audience, in real life, as part of the movie’s climax for unexplained reasons.
Wait, did tom cruise drop the bomb in the new movie? I thought he was just the teacher on the ground?

Ahhh; now that you point it out, I see it.
