Tom Cruise stars in this extremely popular testosterone-pumping thriller involving an egotistical fighter pilot (Cruise) and his experiences at "Top Gun," an exclusive fighter pilot academy. There he falls in love with his instructor (Kelly McGillis), battles top-notch pilot Val Kilmer for the #1 spot in his graduating class, and meets a disastrous tragedy. The dialogue has its weak and corny spots, but that doesn't matter because Top Gun is only meant for good fun. Great jet stunts!
