During his time there, he also encounters Lt. Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, son of Maverick’s late friend Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose”. The film turned out to be a huge success and received universal acclaim from critics as well as audiences. It went on to earn more than $126 million in its opening weekend, making it the biggest opening weekend for a Tom Cruise movie.
