PLOT
Over 30 years after graduating from TOPGUN, US Navy Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is a test pilot. While he has won many honours, repeated insubordination has kept him from military rank. His friend and former TOPGUN rival Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, often protects Maverick from being grounded. flag officer Chester "Hammer" Cain cancels Maverick's "Darkstar" scramjet program in favour of funding drones. Before Cain can officially do so, Maverick sets a replacement flight plan to push into high-hypersonic speed, accomplishing the program's goal. The prototype is destroyed, however, when Maverick pushes beyond Mach 10. Iceman again saves Maverick's career by ordering him to NAS North Island for his next assignment, but Hammer warns Maverick that the age of crewed fighter aircraft will soon end.
The Navy has been tasked with destroying an unsanctioned uranium enrichment plant, which sits during a deep depression at the end of a canyon. it's defended by SA-3 Goa surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), GPS jammers which render the F-35 Lightning II unsuitable for the work, and what appear to be fifth-generation Sukhoi Su-57 fighters. Maverick devises an idea to attack with two pairs of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets. Although he wants to fly the mission, Maverick is assigned to coach an elite group of recent TOPGUN graduates assembled by Air Boss Vice Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson, who dislikes Maverick's unorthodox methods.
Maverick out-dogfights his sceptical students to win their respect. Lieutenants Jake "Hangman" Seresin and Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw—son of Maverick's late ally and RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw—clash. Rooster dislikes Hangman's cavalier attitude, while Hangman criticizes Rooster's cautious flying. Maverick reunites with former girlfriend Penny Benjamin, to whom he reveals that Rooster's mother made him promise before she died that Rooster wouldn't become a pilot. Rooster, unaware of the promise, resents Maverick for impeding his military career and blames him for his father's death. Maverick is reluctant to further interfere with Rooster's career, but the choice is to send him on the extremely dangerous mission. He tells his doubts to Iceman who has throat cancer. Before dying, Iceman advises that "It's time to let go" and reassures him that "the Navy needs Maverick".
With Maverick's protector gone, Cyclone removes him as an instructor following a training incident during which a F/A-18 is lost. Cyclone relaxes the mission parameters in order that they are easier to execute but make escape much more difficult. During Cyclone's announcement, Maverick makes an unauthorized flight through the training course together with his preferred parameters, proving that it is often done. Cyclone reluctantly appoints Maverick as team leader.
Maverick flies the lead F/A-18E within the strike package, amid a buddy lazing F/A-18F[d] flown by Lieutenant Natasha "Phoenix" Trace and WSO Lieutenant Robert "Bob" Floyd. Rooster leads the second strike pair, which incorporates Lieutenant Reuben "Payback" Fitch and WSO Lieutenant Mickey "Fanboy" Garcia. After the four jets launch from the carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, the missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf fires Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy the nearby air base. The teams successfully destroy the plant but are engaged by SAMs during their escape. Rooster runs out of countermeasures, and Maverick sacrifices his jet to guard Rooster. Believing Maverick to be killed, the others are ordered back to the carrier. Rooster returns to seek out that Maverick was safely ejected and is being targeted by a Mi-24 gunship. After destroying the gunship, he's shot down by a SAM and ejects. the 2 rendezvous and steal an F-14 Tomcat from the destroyed air base. Maverick and Rooster destroy two intercepting Su-57s, but a 3rd arrives as they run out of ammunition and countermeasures. Hangman arrives from standby to shoot down the Su-57, and therefore the planes return to the carrier.
Later, Rooster helps Maverick work on his P-51 Mustang. Rooster looks at a photograph of their mission's success, pinned alongside a photograph of his late father and a young Maverick, as Penny and Maverick fly off into the sunset within the P-51.
