From his breakout in the early 80s to becoming one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, Cruise’s career spans more than four decades, nearly 50 films, and $15 billion at the box office. In this episode we break down the six eras of Tom Cruise - from the rebellious young actor of  Risky Business  and  The Outsiders , to the global superstardom of  Top Gun ,  Rain Man , and  A Few Good Men , all the way through to the stunt-driven spectacle of the  Mission: Impossible  franchise and the cinematic comeback of  Top Gun: Maverick .  Along the way we discuss: • Cruise’s difficult upbringing and early rise in Hollywood • The incredible run of films between 1986 and 1992 • His collaborations with directors like Scorsese, Kubrick and Spielberg • The strange sci-fi era ( Vanilla Sky ,  Minority Report ,  War of the Worlds ) • Why  Tropic Thunder  might be his most entertaining role • Whether  Mission: Impossible  has become more about stunts than story • And which Tom Cruise film we want to watch again Plus we look ahead to Cruise’s upcoming projects and ask whether he’s now become the last true movie star still fighting for the theatrical experience.
