Top gun

When filmmaker Tony Scott directed the original 1986 Top Gun, he too had hopes of shooting actors in the air but was thwarted when cast members began throwing up whenever they were taken for a ride. "Though I was never really doing it, I learned the mechanics of operating the plane," Top Gun star I'm Your Huckleberry. "We went up in the jets several times and... I have to report that I was the only one who didn't regurgitate, which, given the gut-wrenching drops and spins of those ferocious flights, was no mean feat." In the years after Top Gun made him a global star, Cruise became a pilot himself thanks to Sydney Pollack, who directed him in 1993's The Firm and gave the actor flying lessons as a present. Cruise was determined to depict the aerial sequences in Top Gun: Maverick as realistically as possible, an ambition shared by Kosinski. "I've always loved aviation, I was making model airplanes from a young kid and studied aerospace in school," says the director. "Every movie's a challenge, you know. I love that. If you don't have butterflies going into a project, it's probably not the right thing. I always want to look for something new to try and, yeah, this was a tough one but I had Jerry [Bruckheimer, the film's producer]. I had Tom, I had a great cast, and a story that we really believed in. So we gave it our best shot." Cruise had played a military-school student in the 1981 film Taps and, together with costars Sean Penn and Timothy Hutton, attended a training boot ...

The film is a straightforward action adventure film, but it also packs in quite a bit of character work and multifaceted plotting. All of that makes for an exciting film that builds to a complex and satisfying ending, one that means different things to many different characters. So, now that you've taken the ride that is "Top Gun: Maverick," let's unpack the whole ending, from Maverick's own journey to the story of Top Gun itself. And of course, there are SPOILERS AHEAD for the whole film. At several points during "Top Gun: Maverick," we see Maverick almost lose his wings within the Navy forever. It happens at the beginning of the film when he takes an unauthorized test flight, it happens later when he dares to challenge the restrictions of training, and it happens once more when he finally loses his cover within the Navy with the death of friend and former rival, Iceman (Val Kilmer) — who used his status as admiral to protect Maverick. This is, of course, the ultimate threat one can level at him, as Maverick emphasizes repeatedly that flying is all he knows how to really do well. He spends the whole movie fighting off the idea that he might be out of the cockpit for good, until he's finally proven himself enough to fly as team leader on the mission at the heart of the film. A few hiccups aside, the mission is successful, and Maverick returns home a hero. After that, the film doesn't really tell us exactly what he's going to do next in terms of his career, but we do see hi...
