A daring yet reckless pilot who shuns teamwork and the rules of engagement eventually learns the importance of cooperation and disci pline. Along the way he has a fiery affair, does some spectacular flying and causes the death of his best friend. Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine.

Additional InformationCocky, undisciplined Maverick (Tom Cruise) flies by instinct and breaks all of the rules at the Navy fighter pilot academy with his best friend and co-pilot Goose (Anthony Edwards). Along the way, Maverick romances the civilian astrophysics instructor (Kelly McGillis) who is initially put off by his hotshot antics. When a personal tragedy leads Maverick to reassess his abilities and choices, he proves that he can be a team player and still shine. Directed by Tony Scott, TOP GUN was the top grossing movie of 1986.
ReviewsChicago Tribune - The aerial sequences in Top Gun are as thrilling- while remaining coherent- as any ever put on film., Variety - Strong visuals... A thrilling ride..., Uncut - Tony Scott's career-defining bombast still packs a punch, Total Film - Cruise slapped on a grin and some sunglasses...and cunningly tapped the rich vein of MTV in its '80s heyday, New York Daily News - The aerial scenes are still thrilling, and perfectly suited to a giant screen., Entertainment Weekly - Top Gun has always been more than just an action flick

  • Top Gun's a classic, but wasted in 3d

    This review isn't about the movie - many have seen it, and the synopsis can be found in a million different places. This review is about the 3d Blu Ray and whether it's worth purchasing. In short, no, it's not. I fairly recently received a 3d projector, so wanted to get some top quality 3d movies to watch on it. I'd been checking out various online lists about the best ones to get, and Top Gun was often included. My girlfriend being a big Top Gun fan, I thought I should buy it and give it a go. Now, previous to having a projector, the only 3d visuals I'd seen before were either from 80's style blue & red glasses or at Disney World in Florida - probably the 2 extremes! Understanding that Top Gun wasn't filmed in 3d, and that it was a post production 3d movie, I was prepared for the effects not to be that great. Though the shots of the planes flying through the wide blue yonder were fairly spectacular, this is the same whether watching in 3d or regular 2d. Though in each scene there was an obvious fore, mid and background, which seemingly brought depth to the film, each layer itself lacked any depth, and it was like 3 separate 2d layers being played on top of each other at once. True, my girlfriend enjoyed seeing Kilmer and Cruise playing volleyball in HD (probably a bit too much...), but where the original version of the film made us create our own depth of vision, the 3d version doesn't let our brain/eyes do this, so strange as it sounds, the 3d version seemed flatter than the VHS version we've had in the house for a million years. Still, I have to give it 3 stars, as any lower would be unfair to what remains a quality piece of cinema, though it would be wise to remember the famous phrase "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" - it should have stayed 2d.
