When Top Gun was released on May 16, 1986,<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a><a href="#cite_note-bomweekly-4">[4]</a> although its visual effects and soundtrack were universally acclaimed, the film initially received mixed reviews from film critics. Despite this, four weeks after its release, the number of theaters showing it increased by 45 percent,<a href="#cite_note-bomweekly-4">[4]</a> and it overcame initial critical resistance to become a huge commercial hit, grossing $357 million globally against a production budget of $15 million. Top Gun was the highest-grossing domestic film of 1986,<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a><a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> as well as the highest-grossing film of 1986 worldwide. The film maintained its popularity over the years and earned an <a href="/wiki/IMAX" title="IMAX">IMAX</a> 3D re-release in 2013, while the retrospective critical reception became more positive, with the film also emerging as a <a href="/wiki/Cult_film" title="Cult film">cult classic</a>. Additionally, the <a href="/wiki/Top_Gun_(soundtrack)" title="Top Gun (soundtrack)">soundtrack</a> to the film has since become one of the most popular film soundtracks to date, reaching <a href="/wiki/RIAA_certification" title="RIAA certification">9× Platinum certification</a>. The film won both an <a href="/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Original_Song" title="Academy Award for Best Original Song">Academy Award</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Golden_Globe_Award_for_Best_Original_Song" title="Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song">Golden Globe</a> for "<a href="/wiki/Take_My_Breath_Away" title="Take My Breath Away">Take My Breath Away</a>" performed by <a href="/wiki/Berlin_(band)" title="Berlin (band)">Berlin</a>.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> In 2015, the United States <a href="/wiki/Library_of_Congress" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a> selected the film for preservation in the <a href="/wiki/National_Film_Registry" title="National Film Registry">National Film Registry</a>, finding it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> A sequel, <a href="/wiki/Top_Gun:_Maverick" title="Top Gun: Maverick">Top Gun: Maverick</a>, in which Cruise and Kilmer reprised their roles, was released 36 years later on May 27, 2022, and surpassed the original film both critically<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> and commercially.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Top_Gun&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Plot">edit</a>]</div> <a href="/wiki/U.S._Navy" class="mw-redirect" title="U.S. Navy">U.S. Navy</a> <a href="/wiki/Naval_aviator_(United_States)" title="Naval aviator (United States)">Naval Aviator</a> <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_(navy)" title="Lieutenant (navy)">Lieutenant</a> <a href="/wiki/Pete_%22Maverick%22_Mitchell" title="Pete "Maverick" Mitchell">Pete "Maverick" Mitchell</a> and his <a href="/wiki/Radar_intercept_officer" class="mw-redirect" title="Radar intercept officer">Radar Intercept Officer</a> (RIO) <a href="/wiki/Lieutenant_(junior_grade)" title="Lieutenant (junior grade)">Lieutenant Junior Grade</a> Nick "Goose" Bradshaw, stationed in the <a href="/wiki/Indian_Ocean" title="Indian Ocean">Indian Ocean</a> aboard <a href="/wiki/USS_Enterprise_(CVN-65)" title="USS Enterprise (CVN-65)">USS Enterprise</a>, fly the <a href="/wiki/Grumman_F-14_Tomcat" title="Grumman F-14 Tomcat">F-14A Tomcat</a>.

Maverick and Goose also buzz the control tower when specifically told not to do so. They are reprimanded by chief instructor Commander Mike "Viper" Metcalf. Privately, Jester tells Viper that while he admires Maverick's skill, he is not sure if he would trust him in combat. In class, Charlie objects to Maverick's aggressive tactics against the MiG-28, but privately tells him she admires his flying; they begin a romantic relationship. On training Hop 19, Maverick abandons his wingman "Hollywood" to chase Viper. As a result, first Hollywood and then Maverick are defeated in a demonstration of the value of teamwork. Jester tells Maverick his flying is excellent, but criticizes him for leaving his wingman. Maverick's rival, Lieutenant Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, calls his behavior "foolish", "dangerous", and worse than the enemy, to which Maverick responds "I am dangerous". Maverick and Iceman, the leading contenders for the Top Gun Trophy, chase an <a href="/wiki/Douglas_A-4_Skyhawk" title="Douglas A-4 Skyhawk">A-4</a> in Hop 31. As Iceman has trouble getting a lock on the A-4, Maverick pressures him to break off so that he can move into firing position. However, Maverick's F-14 flies through Iceman's <a href="/wiki/Wake_turbulence" title="Wake turbulence">jet wash</a> and suffers a <a href="/wiki/Flameout" title="Flameout">flameout</a> of both engines, going into an unrecoverable <a href="/wiki/Flat_spin_(aviation)" class="mw-redirect" title="Flat spin (aviation)">flat spin</a>. Maverick and Goose <a href="/wiki/Ejection_seat" title="Ejection seat">eject</a>, but Goose slams into the jettisoned <a href="/wiki/Aircraft_canopy" title="Aircraft canopy">aircraft canopy</a> and is killed by the impact. The board of inquiry clears Maverick of any wrongdoing, but he is shaken and guilt-ridden, and considers quitting. He seeks advice from Viper, who flew with Maverick's father in the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a> air battle where he was killed. Contrary to official reports faulting Mitchell, Viper says he died heroically. He tells Maverick he can succeed if he regains his self-confidence. Maverick chooses to graduate and congratulates Iceman, who has won the Top Gun Trophy. Iceman, Hollywood, and Maverick receive immediate deployment orders to deal with a crisis situation; they are sent to Enterprise to provide air support for the rescue of the SS Layton, a disabled communication ship that drifted into hostile waters. Aboard Enterprise, Iceman and Hollywood are assigned to provide air cover, with Maverick and RIO Merlin on standby. Iceman expresses his concerns to Stinger about Maverick's mental state, but is told to just do his job. Iceman and Hollywood are pulled into a <a href="/wiki/Dogfight" title="Dogfight">dogfight</a> with what first appear to be two MiGs, but turn out to be six. After Hollywood is shot down, Maverick is scrambled alone due to catapult failure. He goes into a spin after encountering another jet wash, but recovers. Shaken, he breaks off temporarily, but then re-engages and shoots down three MiGs. Iceman destroys a fourth, and the remaining two MiGs withdraw. Upon their triumphant return to Enterprise, the pilots share their newfound respect for one another. Finally confident and able to let go of the guilt caused by the training accident, Maverick later throws Goose's <a href="/wiki/Dog_tags" class="mw-redirect" title="Dog tags">dog tags</a> overboard. Offered the choice of any assignment, Maverick chooses to return to Top Gun as an instructor.

However, there was a dispute between Toto's lawyers and the producers of the film, paving the way for Loggins to record "Danger Zone" and "Only You" being omitted from the film entirely.<a href="#cite_note-55">[54]</a> In 2024, the specialized film music label La-La Land Records released a two-CD set of the soundtrack. The second disc contains the same tracks that have been made available on previous editions. But the first disc contains the complete instrumental score by Harold Faltermeyer which is officially available for the first time (only the "Top Gun Anthem" ended on the first edition of the soundtrack album with the "Memories" track added years later on the expanded and deluxe editions).<a href="#cite_note-56">[55]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Release">Release</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Top_Gun&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Release">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Theatrical">Theatrical</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Top_Gun&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Theatrical">edit</a>]</div> The film's premiere was held in New York City on May 12, 1986,<a href="#cite_note-premiere-57">[56]</a> with another held in San Diego on May 15.<a href="#cite_note-AFI-58">[57]</a> The film opened in the United States and Canada in 1,028 theaters on May 16, 1986, a week prior to the <a href="/wiki/Memorial_Day" title="Memorial Day">Memorial Day</a> weekend, which was considered a gamble at the time.<a href="#cite_note-BOM-1">[1]</a><a href="#cite_note-59">[58]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Home_media">Home media</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Top_Gun&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Home media">edit</a>]</div> In addition to its box office success, Top Gun went on to break further records in the then still-developing home video market.
