AceShowbiz - Days of Thunder is set to stream on Paramount+ starting November 1, bringing back the high-octane action that fueled the adrenaline rush of racing fans worldwide. Starring Tom Cruise as Cole Trickle, a gifted yet reckless stock car driver, Days of Thunder captures the obsession, danger, and glory that come with life on the track. The film's release on Paramount+ comes just months after the success of F1, which was directed by Joseph Kosinski, the same director behind Tom Cruise's Top Gun: Maverick.

Directed by Tony Scott, Days of Thunder is a raw and emotional ride that follows Cole Trickle as he chases NASCAR glory while battling rivals, devastating crashes, and his own ego. The film boasts a powerhouse cast, including Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Robert Duvall, and Michael Rooker, and remains one of the most adored racing films ever made. With a worldwide gross of over $157 million against a production budget of around $60 million, Days of Thunder was a commercial success upon its release.

Critically, Days of Thunder received mixed reviews, with some critics noting that the plot was too similar to Top Gun. The film holds a 37% critics' score and 60% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes. However, Days of Thunder earned an Oscar nomination for Best Sound and featured a memorable soundtrack, including a rousing score by Hans Zimmer and songs from Guns N' Roses and Elton John. As Tom Cruise prepares for his next big project, Judy, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, fans can relive the thrill of Days of Thunder on Paramount+.

Tom Cruise's upcoming film, Judy, is set for release in October 2026 and will feature a star-studded cast, including Jesse Plemons, Sandra Hüller, Riz Ahmed, Emma D’Arcy, and Sophie Wilde. The film follows a powerful man who causes a disaster and then tries to prove he is humanity's savior, and is expected to be in Iñárritu's signature visual style. As Days of Thunder streams on Paramount+, fans can look forward to Tom Cruise's next big collaboration, which promises to be a darkly comic and visually stunning ride.
