From "Top Gun" to "Mission: Impossible," his films have defined generations of movie‑goers. This page gathers the most useful info about the actor – his career highlights, recent headlines, and what’s coming next.

Career Milestones

Tom was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV in 1962, but he dropped the extra names early on to keep things simple. He broke out in the mid‑80s with "Risky Business," where the famous slide across the kitchen floor turned him into a teen idol. The next big jump was "Top Gun" (1986), a film that still sells tickets on streaming services because of its mix of swagger and sky‑high dogfights.

In the 90s, Cruise proved he could handle drama with "Jerry Maguire" (1996). The line “Show me the money!” became a pop‑culture catchphrase, and the movie earned him an Oscar nomination. But the real engine of his fame is the "Mission: Impossible" series. Starting in 1996, each sequel raised the bar for practical stunts – from hanging off a plane’s wing to climbing the Burj Khalifa.

Beyond blockbusters, Tom dabbles in sci‑fi with "Minority Report" and "Oblivion," shows his range, and he’s not shy about producing. He co‑founded Cruise/Wagner Productions, giving him more control over the projects he cares about.
