After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy's top aviators, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialised mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt Bradley Bradshaw, call sign: "Rooster," the son of Maverick's late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt Nick Bradshaw, aka "Goose."
Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
Bringing Tom Cruise back to one of his most iconic roles, Top Gun: Maverick features an ensemble cast that also includes Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, John Hamm, Ed Harris, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Monica Barbaro, Jay Ellis, Danny Ramirez, and Val Kilmer, who reprises his role as Maverick's former rival Tom Kazansky, aka "Iceman."
