Plot summary:
Tom Cruise stars as Maverick, the appropriately named high flying pilot sent to the Navy's top instructional program involving the F-14 Tomcat fighter planes. Conflicted with his fathers past Maverick has to rely on his flight partner Goose (Anthony Edwards) and new love interest “Charlie” (Kelly McGillis) to get him through the dog fight of his life. One of the memorable scenes of the movie is Cruise's corny attempt to woo McGillis with his rendition of 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling.'
