After more than thirty years of service, Pete "Maverick" Mitchell finds himself training a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialised mission. Among his students is Lt Bradley Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late friend Lt Nick Bradshaw, aka "Goose". Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it.
