The scene delivered by Paramount Pictures marked a triumphant return to the festival for both the studio and Cruise, last in town for the premiere of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ in May 2022.

Tom Cruise received a 5-minute standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival for 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning.'

Tom Cruise was last at Cannes in 2022, when the film festival gave him an honorary Palme d’Or and, in return, got one of the last bona fide Hollywood stars to grace their red carpet as he launched “Top Gun: Maverick.”
