Tom Cruise stars as Maverick, a talented training pilot in an elite U.S. school for fighter pilots. When he stumbles upon some MiG's over the Persian Gulf, and his wingman panics, Maverick cleverly talks him through the situation to safety. Consequently, he is moved up in rank and sent to the Top Gun Naval Flying School. There he has several conflicts with other students while trying to live up to his deceased father's reputation. Unable to cope with the death of his best friend, and fellow pilot, Goose (Anthony Edwards), Maverick contemplates dropping out, but follows through with his dream and ultimately becomes one of the "best of the best."
This movie inspired more young men to join the US Navy than any of their advertisements ever did. Brilliant! To answer another commenter on here, Charlie (Kelly McGillis) is driving a Porsche Speedster when she and Maverick (Tom Cruise) are arguing.
It is my favorite movie of all time, cause it has 2 of the sexiest men alive in in, Val Kilmer and Tom Cruise, but I have always liked Val Better
action packed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
