United States Naval Aviator LT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and his Radar Intercept Officer LTJG Nick "Goose" Bradshaw fly the
F-14A Tomcat aboard USS Enterprise (CVN-65). During an interception with two hostile MiG-28 aircraft, Maverick gets missile
lock on one, while the other hostile aircraft locks onto Maverick's wingman, Cougar. While Maverick drives off the remaining
MiG-28, Cougar is too shaken to land, and Maverick, defying orders, shepherds him back to the carrier. Cougar gives up his
wings, citing his newborn child that he has never seen. Despite his dislike for Maverick's recklessness, CAG "Stinger" sends
him and Goose to attend Topgun, the Naval Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar. At a bar the day before Topgun
starts, Maverick, assisted by Goose, unsuccessfully approaches a woman. He learns the next day that she is Charlotte "Charlie"
Blackwood, an astrophysicist and civilian Topgun instructor. She becomes interested in Maverick upon learning of his inverted
maneuver with the MiG-28, which disproves US intelligence on the enemy aircraft's performance.
During Maverick's first training sortie he defeats instructor LCDR Rick "Jester" Heatherly but through reckless flying breaks two
rules of engagement and is reprimanded by chief instructor CDR Mike "Viper" Metcalf. Maverick also becomes a rival to top student
LT Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, who considers Maverick's flying "dangerous." Charlie also objects to Maverick's aggressive tactics, but
eventually admits that she admires his flying and omitted it from her reports to hide her feelings for him, and the two begin a
romantic relationship. During a training sortie Maverick abandons his wingman "Hollywood" to chase Viper, but is defeated when
Viper maneuvers Maverick into a position from which his wingman Jester can shoot down Maverick from behind, demonstrating the
value of teamwork over individual prowess. Maverick and Iceman, now direct competitors for the Topgun Trophy, chase an A-4 in a
later training engagement. Maverick pressures Iceman to break off his engagement so he can shoot it down, but Maverick's F-14
flies through the jet wash of Iceman's aircraft and suffers a flameout of both engines, going into an unrecoverable flat spin.
Maverick and Goose eject, but Goose hits the jettisoned aircraft canopy head-first and is killed.
Although the board of inquiry clears Maverick of responsibility for Goose's death, he is overcome by guilt and his flying skill
diminishes. Charlie and others attempt to console him, but Maverick considers retiring. He seeks advice from Viper, who reveals
that he served with Maverick's father Duke Mitchell on the USS Oriskany and was in the air battle in which Mitchell was killed.
Contrary to official reports which faulted Mitchell, Viper reveals classified information that proves Mitchell died heroically,
and informs Maverick that he can succeed if he can regain his self-confidence. Maverick chooses to graduate, though Iceman wins
the Top Gun Trophy. During the graduation party, Viper calls in the newly graduated aviators with the orders to deploy. Iceman,
Hollywood, and Maverick are ordered to immediately return to Enterprise to deal with a "crisis situation", providing air support
for the rescue of a stricken ship that has drifted into hostile waters. Maverick and Merlin are assigned as back-up for F-14s
flown by Iceman and Hollywood, despite Iceman's reservations over Maverick's state of mind. The subsequent hostile engagement
with six MiGs sees Hollywood shot down; Maverick is scrambled alone due to a catapult failure and nearly retreats after
encountering circumstances similar to those that caused Goose's death. Upon finally rejoining Iceman, Maverick shoots down
three MiGs, and Iceman one, forcing the other two to flee. Upon their triumphant return to Enterprise, Iceman and Maverick
express a newfound respect for each other.
Offered any assignment he chooses, Maverick decides to return to Topgun as an instructor. At a bar in Miramar, Maverick and Charlie reunite.
