Pete is now working in the same Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program as in the original Top Gun (1986). As he prepares a new batch of TOPGUN students, he realizes how much has changed in the last 30 years.

“Captain Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, let me be perfectly blunt: you were not my first choice. You are here at the request of Admiral Kazansky, aka Iceman,” Cruise can be heard saying in the trailer.

“He seems to think you have something left to offer the Navy,” Jon Hamm’s character Cyclone tells him in the trailer. “What that is, I can’t imagine,” he adds. 

“After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer 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.” the plot read.
