Barry Seal, a TWA pilot, is recruited by the CIA to provide reconnaissance on the burgeoning communist threat in Central America and soon finds himself in charge of one of the biggest covert CIA operations in the history of the United States. The clandestine operation that would be exposed as the Iran-Contra Affair scandal spawns the birth of the Medellin cartel and almost brings down the Reagan White House.
Tom Cruise ('Top Gun', 'Mission: Impossible' Series, 'Jerry Maguire') reunites with his 'Edge of Tomorrow' director Doug Liman ('The Bourne Identity', 'Mr and Mrs Smith'), as Barry Seal, an American pilot who became a drug-runner for the CIA in the 1980s. 'American Made' co-stars Domhnall Gleeson ('Ex Machina'), Sarah Wright Olsen ('Walk of Shame'), Jesse Plemons ('Black Mass') and Caleb Landry Jones ('Antiviral').
