Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson just made their latest red carpet a famous family night, bringing their two adult sons to the world premiere of Apple TV+'s Masters Of The Air at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles on January 10.

The Hollywood power couple, both 67, were accompanied by their sons Chet, 33, and Truman, 28, to the premiere, and they all presented quite a dapper form.

Tom opted for a black suit jacket and pants with a matching sweater and button down while Rita went with a black blouse and a midi-length sequined skirt with knee-high boots, a leather jacket, and some chains to accessorize.

The older Chet was the only one to add some color to his wardrobe, wearing a sharp black suit with a bottle green velvet blazer. Truman went with a classic black suit with a white button down.

Tom is an executive producer on the upcoming war drama series with Steven Spielberg, based on the book Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany by Donald L. Miller. 

It follows the 100th Bomb Group in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II, a unit that incurred heavy losses during combat and was nicknamed "Bloody Hundredth."

"What I like about it is, we're back in the movie theater and not only remembering the nights we were here [for premieres]... but we also remember the [other] times, [like when] I dropped off my son Colin to see Batman by himself here one Saturday afternoon," he added. "So it's our hometown, and this is where we saw the movies."
