Top Gun (1986)
Young naval aviators Pete “Maverick” Mitchell and his partner Goose are sent to a five-week training course at Miramar, California, home to the elite fighter pilot school known as Top Gun.

Maverick is determined to prevent Bradley from suffering the same fate, even as he realizes that the chances of any of the pilots surviving the planned operation are far from certain…
