Top 10 Tom Cruise Action Films



Tom Cruise is a megawatt superstar. Much of his fame is attributed to his blockbuster action roles. Here are the top ten.

10. War of the Worlds
It wasn’t the huge blockbuster mega-hit film everyone thought it was going to be but Tom Cruise was still great as a desperate father trying to save his child.

9. Far and Away
The accents weren’t the best but he did make a good looking boxer and his co-star, Nichole Kidman, wasn’t too bad looking either. More of an epic romance than an action film, this one still makes the cut for the boxing scenes.

8. Minority Report
A unique storyline with lots of twists and turns. He once again plays a desperate father, only this time he’s trying to make up for what has already happened. Some really neat special effects.

7. Mission Impossible II
The handsome agent returns to the screen and keeps us on our toes.

6. Mission Impossible III
Once again Ethan Hunt takes on foreign criminals while undercover.

5. Collateral
The dark side of Cruise. Not only was he believable, he was interesting. Cruise should take more roles like the hit man he plays in this film.

4. The Last Samurai
A great story for an action film, it was touching and beautiful. The battle scenes are amazing, both brutal and stunning at the same time.

3. Days of Thunder
Fast cars, lots of action and a lot on the line (literally and figuratively). He has to cross that finish line and he has to cross it first.

2. Mission Impossible
Most people can still hear the music. The best spy next to the one and only James Bond.

1. Top Gun
Everyone wanted to be Maverick. He was the ultimate suave guy at the time. Flying high into the sky and battling other pilots – that has to be coolest thing ever.
