Synopsis

    More than three decades after his time at Topgun, captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is working as a test pilot for the US Navy. As Admiral Chester" hammer " Cain is about to close the supersonic scramjet program "Dark Star" and redirect funds to drone programs, Maverick leads the prototype to its rapid target, and then pushes further to supersonic speed, destroying it. Cain wants to fire Maverick for his recklessness, but instead sends him to the northern island of NAS as a TOPGUN instructor on the orders of Maverick's friend and former rival, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, commander of the US Pacific Fleet

    Maverick ordered the training of elite F / A-18E / F Super Hornet pilots assembled by Vice Admiral Bo "cyclone" Simpson and Admiral Solomon" Warlock " Bates for an urgent task: to bomb an unauthorized uranium enrichment plant in a foreign country and eliminate it in a short time. The plant is located in a deep depression at the end of a ravine and is defended by surface-to-air missiles and fifth-generation Su-57 fighters operating from a nearby air base. Maverick is planning an attack with a couple of Super wasps, which will fly through the ravine and destroy the plant. The pilots initially rejected the maverick, in particular Lieutenant Jake "The Executioner" Seresin and lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of the late maverick's best friend and Rio Nick "Gus" Bradshaw

    While the pilots are training for the mission, friction develops between the executioner and rooster, who resents the executioner's arrogant attitude towards the wingmen, while the executioner criticizes Rooster's warning. While the pilots are watching the maverick, they reassess him and unite around him. Maverick also meets with his ex-girlfriend Penny Benjamin, to whom he reveals that rooster's now-dead mother made him promise to ban her son from flying, blocking Rooster's application to the Naval Academy, which restored his career. Maverick later meets The Snowman, who has throat cancer and communicates mainly by typing on a computer. Reassuring Maverick about the education of the team, he died days later, and Maverick with the pilots attended his funeral where the formation of a missing man was noted. With the dead snowman, Hurricane removes Maverick as a mission trainer and sets new standards less dangerous on the approach but more dangerous on the exit. However, Maverick makes an unauthorized flight of the simulated route with the original parameters, proving that it can be done. Hurricane is convinced and reluctantly appoints Maverick as a strike leader

    Maverick chooses the mission team and pairs himself with Phoenix and Wusu bob, while Rooster pairs with recovery and Wusu fanboy. The executioner and the remaining pilots are put on standby. The team sets off from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt while the guided missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf fires Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy the air base near the factory. The team arrives at the factory and destroys it, but is attacked by surface-to-air missiles and a pair of criminals patrolling Su-57s. When Rooster runs out of countermeasures, Maverick sacrifices his plane to protect him and gets out. Believing that Maverick will be killed during the fighting, the remaining aircraft returns to the carrier. Against orders, Rooster turned back and rescued the maverick from a Mi-24 gunship helicopter, but was shot down by another surface-to-air missile and ejected nearby. The two meet and head towards the destroyed airbase, where they steal an F - 14 Tomcat and return to the carrier. Maverick and Rooster shoot down two Su-57 interceptors, but a third arrives with running out of ammunition and countermeasures. The executioner arrives from the standby mode to shoot down the Su-57, and the planes return to cheer on the carrier, where maverick and Rooster reconcile

    Some time after the mission, maverick and Rooster work together on a P-51 Mustang in a hangar near the test facility where Maverick was previously stationed. Penny arrives with her daughter Amelia, and Maverick takes her for a ride in the P-51. Rooster walks over to a photo board and acknowledges the success of their mission, along with a photo of his late father and the younger Maverick
