Beschreibung:

Top Gun: Maverick 

The actioned-packed sequel to the cult classic about a US Navy fighter pilot.

Top Gun: Maverick; USA 2022; director: Joseph Kosinksi; actors: Tom Cruise, Jennifer Connelly, Miles Teller; 130 min; for ages 12+; original with German subtitles

After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's best pilots, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is still pushing the envelope while dodging the promotion that would take him out of the air and force him onto the ground. When he is tasked with preparing a group of Top Gun trainees for a daring and life-threatening special mission, Maverick meets Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late friend and weapons systems officer Lt. Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. Facing an uncertain future and haunted by the ghosts of his past, Maverick must confront his own deepest fears on a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those chosen to fly it.

This evening, an introduction to the portrayal of the U.S. military in film as well as its significance in the region will be given by Allison Haskins, Chancellor's Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Atlantische Akademie Rheinland-Pfalz e.V. (Language: German/English)

The movie theater series AMERICA ON SCREEN

once again brings U.S. society, culture, and history to the big screen: we open the series with an outdoor cinema classic, search for the American dream in a small Texas town and meet the pioneers of the trans movement in San Francisco. Then, we fly a special mission with a group of Top Gun trainees, travel from a run-down laundromat into the multiverse, explore the world of social media with a student and his defective robot, and cycle across Germany in the footsteps of an American prisoner of war. In cooperation with the UNION – Studio für Filmkunst in Kaiserslautern, the PROVINZ Programmkino in Enkenbach, the Moselkino in Bernkastel-Kues, and the Broadway Filmtheater in Trier, we will show selected films accompanied by keynote speeches and Q&As, to which we will welcome not only exciting experts but also directors and filmmakers from the USA and Germany.
