Directed by Tony Scott
With Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Anthony Edwards, Val Kilmer, Meg Ryan, Tom Skerritt
Rated PG, 110 minutes, DCP
Tom Cruise emerged as a Hollywood superstar with his role as Maverick, a hotshot pilot sent to train at Top Gun, the Navy’s elite flight school. There, he earns the ire of his fellow pilots for his risky behavior, including the equally cocky Iceman (Val Kilmer), and falls for a by-the-book instructor (Kelly McGillis). An ode to testosterone-laden American exceptionalism, Top Gun became the top box office draw of 1986.
