Go behind the scenes with Tom Cruise

He’s been going 30 years, but Tom Cruise shows no sign of slowing down.

One of the biggest film stars of all-time returns with Oblivion, a stunning sci-fi thriller already seemingly destined for blockbuster status.

The film tells the story of Jack Harper (Cruise), a drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Following a battle between humans and an alien race known as the ‘Scavs’, Harper’s mission is nearly complete.

However, when Harper rescues a stranger from a crashed spacecraft, she triggers a chain of events that puts the fate of humanity in his hands.

Co-starring the great Morgan Freeman and rising British star Andrea Riseborough, the film dazzles on the big-screen thanks to the direction of Joseph Kosinski, who previously helmed the similarly lush and lavish Tron: Legacy. The futuristic, sweeping visuals make for a truly cinematic experience, as does the presence of Cruise, who further cements his status as one of the greatest leading men of all-time.

What’s more, here Cruise gives us a look behind the scenes with this revealing featurette.

Oblivion is released in cinemas nationwide from 10 April
