Excitement is building for the release of the next instalment of Top Gun, the fighter pilot movie that defined a decade, after a teaser trailer was aired before kick off of the Super Bowl. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, Top Gun: Maverick stars Tom Cruise who reprises his role as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell
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 specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), 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.
Top Gun: Maverick airs in cinemas June 26, 2020.
