| Plot |
| Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell ( Tom Cruise ) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky ( Val Kilmer ) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood ( Kelly McGillis ). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots . An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder - Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away." — Hal Erickson |
