A lot of talk about Tom Cruise lately has revolved around two of his highly anticipated upcoming films: Mission: Impossible 7 and Top Gun: Maverick. The long-awaited Top Gun sequel has been in the can for a while now, with a release slated for this year, while the newest Mission: Impossible is currently wrapping up production. While there is still a bit of a wait in store before these films arrive in theaters, one of Cruise’s lesser-known movies from the last decade is making its way to HBO Max, allowing new fans to discover it.
The film in question is called Oblivion, a sci-fi movie from director Joseph Kosinski, based on the graphic novel he wrote. Cruise stars in the movie as Jack Harper, a drone technician in the year 2077 who crash lands back on an abandoned Earth that has now been overrun with aliens. The film has grown a passionate following over the years and it set to arrive on HBO Max on September 1st.
Originally released in 2013, Oblivion made more than $285 million at the global box office. In addition to Cruise, the film stars Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Morgan Freeman, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau.
