Top Gun, released in 1986, was a revolutionary hit that showed aerial battles, dogfights, and the glam life of US Air Force pilots. The film followed a class of elite, hot shot Navy pilots at the Fighter Weapons School known as Top Gun, who push their aircraft and each other to the limits as they compete to be the best of the best. Tom Cruise starred in the iconic 1986 blockbuster that defined a generation.
