Member Rating:  
Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots. An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder-Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ecapeism at it's finest! Nothing about this film is realistic except for the dudes on the flight deck but what the heck... great soundtrack, exciting flight sceens, excellent cinematography make up for the lame screenplay and boy meets girl storyline. Just go with it people... IT'S A FUN MOVIE!

Positively predictable and seemingly written to make Tom Cruise look good. Good thing Val Kilmer was there to provide some semblance of balance. Neither Cruise nor McGillis are believable as a hot shot pilot and flight instructor. Visuals----with stunt pilots of course----saved this from being much worse than so-so.

Had seen movie before, but my grandson wanted so much to see it. However, he moved to Florida before having a chance to view it. From what I remember when I saw it back years ago, it was a good movie but I think a little miscast. Thought Kelly McGillis was too old for Tom Cruise and it just wasn't working for me. BTW, what is it with these reviews; is there an error (nice movie!nice movie????
