Tom Cruise’s latest film American Made is already coming under fire when three of the pilots hired for the movie were involved in a plane crush while filming in 2015 — two of them, Alan Purwin and Carlos Berl, died.

Now, their families claim Tom Cruise is partially to blame for the accident.

Court documents released by The Blast says that the families claim Tom and director Doug Liman’s desire to film a “high risk action packed motion picture” contributed to the circumstances leading to the accident.

The document states: “The demands of filming in Colombia, together with Cruise’s and director Doug Liman’s enthusiasm for multiple takes of lavish flying sequences, added hours to every filming day and added days to the schedule.”

They also allege that production companies ignored safety procedures before the flight in order to save time and money: “Lapses in planning, coordinating, scheduling, and flight safety that were the Defendants’ responsibility resulted in an unqualified and unprepared pilot being pressed into service for a dangerous flight in a vintage aircraft across an unfamiliar mountain pass in bad weather.”
