The blockbuster movie “Top Gun Maverick” became a hit for its powerful sky action scenes that focused on realistic images. In fact, the

A key scene in the film could have been an international incident for the U.S., Screen Rant reports.

In “Top Gun Maverick,” the sequel to 1986’s “Top Gun,” America’s elite pilot team “Top Gun” is faced with an absolutely impossible mission, and they need guidance from legendary pilot “Maverick ” (Tom Cruise) to mentor them. The charismatic Maverick trains these young aviators to take part in a crucial mission to destroy a uranium factory.

The tricks in this film are mostly real. Tom Cruise is not a Navy pilot, but he is licensed, and he flew in a real plane. Of course, the film was shot at an actual naval base in partnership with the U.S. Navy. However, this was about to become an international issue, he said.

According to an interview that director Joseph Kosinski gave to Collider, he went on a tour of the naval base in the desert for the shoot, where he found a vast expanse of desert. “I went around the base looking for hangars for the Dark Star series. Then I was told, ‘You can take pictures as long as you don’t point your camera over there. There’s a tower, there’s barbed wire, there’s a blue door. I said, ‘What’s that?’ They said, ‘Don’t even think about it. I said, ‘If you don’t want to take pictures, you can’t take pictures there. I said, ‘If you don’t want to take pictures, can we go by there? And they said, ‘Okay, fine. You can pass by, but you can’t take pictures,'” he recalled.

When they passed by, “it looked like a top-secret hangar in a top-secret base,” he said, and he told them, “There’s a scene where they pull out a secret plane at night, and it looks perfect there. In the end, they decided to shoot in the top-secret hangar, but they were given detailed instructions about the filming, including the need to move certain things in advance.

He said, “When we pulled it out for the shoot, a certain satellite owned by another country was actually moving and filming in space. They must have been tracking it. You can even see Tom Cruise in the cockpit if you zoom in,” continued Joseph Kosinski. If they had taken pictures in a place where they were told not to take pictures…it might have led to some kind of international problem.
