Story
More than 30 years after graduating from Top Gun, Maverick remains one of the Navy’s finest pilots. Despite his exceptional skills, his rebellious nature has kept him from advancing in rank.
Maverick is called back to the elite Top Gun program to train a new generation of pilots for a dangerous mission. Among them is Rooster, the son of Maverick’s late best friend Goose.
As Maverick confronts painful memories from his past, he must guide the team through a mission that demands courage, trust, and sacrifice.
