Story-;
United States Naval Aviator LT Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and his Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) LTJG Nick “Goos e” Bradshaw are stationed aboard the USS Enterprise, from which they fly the F-14A Tomcat. During an int erc eption with two hostile MiG-28 aircraft (portrayed by USN F-5s), Maverick gets missile-lock on one, while the other hostile aircraft locks onto Maverick’s wingman, Cougar. While Maverick drives off the remaining MiG-28, Cougar is too shaken to land, and Maverick, defying orders, shepherds him back to the carrier. Cougar gives up his wings, citing his newborn child that he has never seen. CAG “Stinger” sends Maverick and Goose to attend TOPGUN, the aval Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar. At a bar the day before Topgun starts, Maverick, assisted by Goose, unsuccessfully approaches a woman.
Maverick learns the next day that she is Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood, an astrophysicist and civilian TOPGUN instructor. Charlie later becomes interested in Maverick upon learning of his inverted maneuver with the MiG-28, which disproves US intelligence on the enemy aircraft’s performance. During Maverick’s first training hop he defeats instructor LCDR Rick “Jester” Heatherly but through reckless flying breaks a major rule of engagement, immediately followed by a second by flying by the control tower, “buzzing it,” at top speeds, and is reprimanded by chief instructor CDR Mike “Viper” Metcalf. Privately, Jester confides that he admires Maverick’s skill, but do es not know if he would trust him as a teammate in combat. Maverick also becomes a rival to top student LT Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, who considers Maverick’s attitude “foolish” and his flying “dangerous” — as Maverick’s ten dency to abandon his team and pursue reckless objectives makes him “unsafe” to fly with.
In class, Charlie also objects to Maverick’s aggressive tactics but privately admits to him that she admires his fly ing and omitted it from her reports to hide her feelings for him; the two begin a romantic relationship.During an other training hop (Hop 19), Maverick abandons his wingman “Hollywood” to chase Viper. Viper admits he is im pressed with his flying abilities but Maverick is defeated when Viper maneuvers Maverick into a position from which his wingman Jester can shoot down Maverick from behind, demonstrating the value of teamwork over in dividual prowess. Jester publicly tells Maverick that his flying is excellent, but that he should “never leave [his] wingman”.Maverick and Iceman, now direct competitors for the TOPGUN Trophy, chase an A-4 in a later training engagement (Hop 31).
Since part of the scoring in every flight in the course is the time taken for every dogfight to conclude, and after noticing that Iceman is pulling time during his chase after the A-4 so that his total score in the course will remain higher than Maverick’s, Maverick pressures Iceman to break off his engagement with the A-4 they are both ch asing so that he can shoot it down himself, but Maverick’s F-14 flies through the jet wash of Iceman’s aircraft and suffers a flameout of both engines, going into an unrecoverable flat spin. Maverick and Goose eject, but Goose hits the jettisoned aircraft canopy head-first and is killed.Although the board of inquiry clears Maverick of resp onsibility for Goose’s death, he is overcome by guilt and his flying skill diminishes. Charlie and others attempt to console him, but Maverick considers retiring.
He seeks advice from Viper, who reveals that he served with Maverick’s father Duke Mitchell on the USS Ori ska ny and was in the Vietnam War-era air battle in which Mitchell was killed. Contrary to official reports which fau lted Mitchell, Viper reveals classified information that proves Mitchell died heroically and informs Maverick that he can succeed if he can regain his self-confidence. Maverick chooses to graduate, though Iceman wins the TOP GUN Trophy.During the graduation party, Viper and Jester call in the newly graduated aviators with the orders to deploy. Iceman, Hollywood, and Maverick are ordered to immediately return to the Enterprise to deal with a “crisis situation”, providing air support for the rescue of the SS Layton, a disabled communication ship that has dr ifted into hostile waters.Maverick and Merlin (Cougar’s former RIO) are assigned as back-up for F-14s flown by Iceman and Hollywood, despite Iceman’s reservations over Maverick’s state of mind.
The subsequent hostile engagement with six MiGs sees Hollywood shot down; Maverick is scrambled alone due to a catapult failure and nearly retreats after encountering circumstances similar to those that caused Goose’s death. Upon finally rejoining Iceman, the two are still badly outnumbered, but Maverick vocally refuses to leave Iceman without a wingman and manages to shoot down three MiGs. Iceman, shifting to offense, also shoots one down, which forces the other two to flee. Upon their triumphant return to Enterprise, Iceman and Maverick sh are newfound respect for each other, and Maverick throws Goose’s dog tags overboard, having come to terms with himself and his friend’s death.Offered any assignment he chooses, Maverick decides to return to TOPGUN as an instructor. At a bar in Miramar, Maverick and Charlie reunite.

Movie Review-;
Tom Cruise and his inevitable charm are in their natural habitat. The man can fly planes for real and all I could im agine was if he makes me his wingman someday and takes me on a tour! Playing a character with an emotional b aggage after a very long time, he does that brilliantly. Maybe the fact that he has aged with the franchise for real has helped the most, but there are efforts put in and you have to appreciate that. In one of the more memorable lines in the original Top Gun, Maverick gets chewed out by a superior who tells him, “Son, your ego’s writing ch e cks your body can’t cash.”Sometimes I wonder if Tom Cruise took that putdown as a personal challenge. No mov ie star seems to work harder or push himself further than Cruise these days. He just keeps going and going, whe ther he’s scaling skyscrapers in a new Mission Impossible adventure or showing a bunch of fresh-faced pilots ho w it’s done in the ridiculous and ridiculously entertaining Top Gun: Maverick.Cruise was in his early 20s when he first played Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the cocky young Navy pilot with the aviator sunglasses, the Kawasaki mo torcycle and the need for speed.
In the sequel, he’s as arrogant and insubordinate as ever: Now a Navy test pilot in his late 50s, Maverick still kn ows how to tick off his superiors, as we see in an exciting opening sequence where he pushes a new plane beyond its limits. Partly as punishment, he’s ordered to return to TOPGUN, the elite pilot-training school, and train its be st and brightest for an impossibly dangerous new mission.One of his trainees is a hotheaded young pilot called Rooster, played by Miles Teller. Rooster is the son of Maverick’s beloved wingman, Goose, who tragically died while flying with Maverick in the first Top Gun. Maverick’s lingering guilt over Goose’s death affects his relation ship with Rooster; so does his desire to protect Rooster from harm, which generates some suspense over wh et her he’ll end up choosing the young man for the assignment.The three screenwriters of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ … ha ve taken the threads of the original and spun them into an intergenerational male weepie: a dad movie of truly epic proportions.
Miles Teller gets to be Bradley Bradshaw the son of the deceased mate, and he plays the part with conviction. Th ere is some emotional handling in his kitty and you can see him do it well. It isn’t a cakewalk to play a character parallel to that of Cruise and his mass appeal. Miles does it well.Jennifer Connelly is beautiful, sassy, and full of confidence. She is never a damsel in distress. I love how the world around her has changed and even her daug ht er is empowered to school Maverick, because we all know he was at fault in this department. And so the three screenwriters of Top Gun: Maverick — including Cruise’s regular Mission: Impossible writer-director, Christop her McQuarrie — have taken the threads of the original and spun them into an intergenerational male weepie, a dad movie of truly epic proportions. They’re tapping into nostalgia for the original, while aiming for new levels of emotional grandeur. To that end, the soundtrack features a Lady Gaga song,
“Hold My Hand.” It’s nowhere near as iconic a chart topper as the original movie’s “Take My Breath Away,” but tugs at your heartstrings nonetheless. Val Kilmer makes a return and is as good as he can be. Glen Powell and his arrogance are actually attractive, he did impress me with it. Monica Barbaro in an uniform beams power and be auty. I would love to see how the makers deal with her character in the future. Joseph Kosinski as planned makes this about Tom Cruise’s Maverick. Thankfully the direction doesn’t look confused about what it wants to focus o n. It’s a victory in a screenplay like this. The movie is heavily technical and still managing the name the emotions come out of it is a task, which he does nicely.Much of the plot is unabashedly derivative of the first Top Gun. On ce again, Maverick runs afoul of growling authority figures, here played by Ed Harris and Jon Hamm.
Cruise’s former co-star Kelly McGillis is nowhere to be seen, but Maverick does get another perfunctory love interest, a bartender named Penny, nicely played by Jennifer Connelly despite the thanklessness of the rol e.W hat’s interesting about Top Gun: Maverick is how it isn’t like its predecessor, mostly in terms of style. The first Top Gun, directed on a relatively low budget by the late Tony Scott, combined the aesthetics of a military recru itment video with some of the ripest homoerotic imagery ever seen in a major Hollywood movie. For better or worse, the sequel, directed by Joseph Kosinski of Tron: Legacy and Oblivion, is a much tamer, slicker, classier aff air. Maverick no longer struts around in towels and tighty-whities, though he can still fly a plane like nobody’s business. The action sequences are much more thrilling and immersive than in the original. You feel like you’re really in the cockpit with these pilots, and that’s because you are: The actors underwent intense flight training and flew actual planes during shooting.
In that respect, Top Gun: Maverick feels like a throwback to a lost era of practical moviemaking, before com pu ter-generated visual effects took over Hollywood. You start to understand why Cruise, the creative force behind the movie, was so driven to make it: In telling a story where older and younger pilots butt heads, and state-of-th e-art F-18s duke it out with rusty old F-14s, he’s trying to show us that there’s room for the old and the new to coexist. He’s also advancing a case for the enduring appeal of the movies and their power to transport us with vis cerally gripping action and big, sweeping emotions.Claudio Miranda’s cinematography is thrilling. She knows ho w to capture the thrills and fear when the jet flies to its maximum limit. The zoom-ins into the frame when a cr ucial scene is playing out to make you as uncomfortable as the character works well in this one. The music in Top Gun: Maverick blends well with the visual translation and that I suppose is also a victory.
Also, can we give our queen Lady Gaga all the awards already?Tom Cruise is back at what he does best and with some more this time. It might bother some as there is not human enemy against them, but surrender yourself an d you will enjoy. Run to the theatres near you. He can fly his jet even from between two closely stuck poles. Wh at the screenplay written by Christopher McQuarrie, Eric Warren Singer, and Ehren Kruger, excels in is ack now ledging the fact that thirty years have passed, technology has advanced and there are more skilled people on the planet. Which means there are more who can fly their jets through the worse conditions (at least basic worse). So what makes Maverick The Maverick who can rule them all? His experience and the baggage.The writers now write Maverick as once a Casanova now a lonely man who lives to test limits, defy the rules of speed, nature and his bosses, and make sure no one else is hurt because of him.
He is alone because maybe attachments make him vulnerable, maybe them going away breaks him into tiny piec es. There is regret that he couldn’t save his man and guilt that he walked away. And how this all culminates into a beautiful story is commendable.What isn’t commendable is the script treating the new generation with the level of suspense that even a fresher can tell they are hiding them to make more movies about them. Also the women. Why on Earth would you restrict Jennifer ‘I can win hearts with a gaze’ Connelly and Monica ‘I am one of the mo st bada** person’ Barbaro to the men around them. Giving them their identity apart from being in service to the male characters would have given them a beautiful edge.This is exactly what Doctor Strange In The Multiverse Of Madness was supposed to be but went wrong with. It’s Top Gun: ‘MAVERICK’ and thank God it is about Pete and not everything else. All these years the missions of the Top Gun have been above anyone on the team. Cruise was in service and the script looked at him as a backdrop to the mission and not the main conflict itself.
Now that he returns to service after 3 decades and the events that led to the death of his closest mate (guys you have all the time to watch the last film, don’t you dare call this a spoiler), he comes in with a baggage. In the story based on Jim Cash, Jack Epps Jr’s characters and written by Peter Craig with Justin Marks, the world of Top Gun now revolves around Maverick and his life. Because we all know the last epic batch of the recruits gave us Mave rick and there is no one better than him. We aren’t told that all over again through any kind of flashback, rather an aged but still smoking hot Pete enters the screen doing what he knows best. Making love to an airplane. Wh ich brings us to the movie’s most powerful scene, in which Val Kilmer briefly reprises his role as Iceman, Mav er ick’s former nemesis-turned-friend. Kilmer is, in some respects, Cruise’s opposite: a onetime star whose career never quite found its groove, and who’s been beset by health issues in recent years, including the loss of his voice due to throat cancer. His soulful presence here gives this high-flying melodrama the grounding it needs. Cruise may be this movie’s immortal star, but it’s Kilmer’s aching performance that takes your breath away.
