What is “Top Gun: Maverick” about?
After more than thirty years of service as one of the Navy’s finest aviators, Pete Maverick Mitchell is in the right place, pushing the limits as a fearless test pilot and dodging the rise in rank that would send him into a tailspin.
He finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen.
However, he will soon have to face an uncertain future and the ghosts of his past, for which he will be drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears; which culminates in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to pilot it.
