Film: TOP GUN

Leading a phenomenal cast, including Val Kilmer as the iconic Tom “Iceman” Kazansky, Kelly McGillis, Anthony “Goose” Edwards, Meg Ryan, and Tom Skerritt, Tom Cruise soars as Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, the young, in-your-face fighter pilot with a need for speed, a lot to prove, and even more to learn. Top Gun takes a look at the danger and excitement that awaits every pilot at the Navy’s prestigious fighter weapons school. Cruise is superb as Maverick, who’s out to become the best of the best. But you can’t be the best unless you compete amongst the best, which is exactly what Kilmer’s “Iceman” intends to show him, thereby creating one of the great cinematic rivalries of the 20th century.
