Tom Cruise’s “phenomenal” ’80s-set action movie inspired by a true story lands new UK streaming home
Tom Cruise’s “phenomenal” action movie American Made has found a new streaming home in the UK.
In the ’80s, based on real events, the movie “American Made” narrates the tale of Barry Seal, a man who swapped his life as an airline pilot for a career in drug trafficking.
As a gamer, I might say: “This thrilling tale is based on the life of infamous drug runner Barry Seal. In this adventure, I find myself in the shoes of a daring airline pilot, ready to take flight for whoever’s willing to pay top dollar.

2017’s “Mission: Impossible” movie featuring Tom Cruise in the main role as Seal became available for streaming on Netflix in the UK yesterday. You can watch it now.
Alongside Cruise in this high-profile ensemble are Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright, Jesse Plemons, Caleb Landry Jones, Jayma Mays, Lola Kirke, Alejandro Edda, Jed Rees, and Benito Martinez.
As a diehard movie enthusiast, I can’t help but sing praises for the phenomenal masterpiece directed by Doug Liman that left both critics and me in awe. Currently boasting an impressive 85% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 267 reviews, this film is undoubtedly a cinematic triumph that deserves every accolade coming its way.
The review titled “Film Review” states: “[The motion picture] is extraordinary… This outstanding selection of actors truly shines… Gleeson’s portrayal of the institutional figure brings to life the film’s wildly extravagant 1980s ambiance.”
“In the review called ‘Film Review’, it’s mentioned that [the movie] is fantastic… The actors chosen are perfect for their roles… Gleeson’s acting as the representative from an institution really captures the film’s over-the-top 1980s atmosphere.”
Both versions convey the same meaning but with a slightly different tone and structure.
As a gaming enthusiast speaking, I just got word that ol’ Tom Cruise smashed a world record doing a stunt for Mission: Impossible – The Last Standoff. Cool, huh?
cruise managed to break the Guinness World Record for the most skydiving jumps with a burning parachute, having successfully executed this dangerous feat 16 times.
In a more conversational manner: Craig Glenday, head of Guinness World Records, commented: “Not only does Tom portray action heroes on screen, but in reality, he embodies the essence of an action hero!
He added: “A significant portion of his triumph can be attributed to his unwavering dedication to authenticity and venturing beyond the limits of what a leading actor is capable of. It’s a privilege to acknowledge his extraordinary bravery as he receives this latest Guinness World Records title.
American Made is available to stream now on Netflix in the UK.
The inaugural print issue of Digital Spy’s “British Comedy Legends” magazine is available! You can purchase it from your local newsagent or online for only £3.99.
