Top Gun
1986 · TMDB 7.1
Directed by Tony Scott
For Lieutenant Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell and his friend and co-pilot Nick 'Goose' Bradshaw, being accepted into an elite training school for fighter pilots is a dream come true. But a tragedy, as well as personal demons, will threaten Pete's dreams of becoming an ace pilot.
Why it matters
Tony Scott's adrenaline-fueled portrait of naval aviators at the elite Fighter Weapons School. Maverick's instinctual brilliance in the cockpit is inseparable from his reckless streak, a tension that the film dramatises through every dogfight and debrief.
