Top Gun is an American action drama movie directed by Tony Scott and produced in conjunction with Paramount Pictures by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer. Jim Cash and Jack Epps Jr. wrote the screenplay, which was based on an article called ‘Top Gun'” that appeared in California magazine three years prior.
Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, and Tom Skerritt star in the picture. Lieutenant Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, a teenage naval aviator on the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise, is played by Cruise. LTJG Nick ‘Goose’ Bradshaw, his Radar Intercept Officer, is given the opportunity to train at the US Navy’s Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California.
The movie was chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry by the United States Library of Congress in 2015, citing it as ‘culturally, historically, or aesthetically important.’ After many delays, including a summer 2019 date to ‘let the production figure out all the complicated flying sequences’ and the COVID-19 pandemic, a sequel titled Top Gun: Maverick is set to be released on May 27, 2022.
