DVD Synopsis
Devil-may-care navy pilot Pete Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is sent to Miramar Naval Air Station for advanced training. Here he vies with Tom Kasansky (Val Kilmer) for the coveted "Top Gun" award. When not so occupied, Mitchell carries on a romance with civilian consultant Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis). Shaken up by the death of a friend, Mitchell loses the Top Gun honor to Kasansky. Worried that he may have lost his nerve, Mitchell is given a chance to redeem himself during a tense international crisis involving a crippled US vessel and a flock of predatory enemy planes. The story wasn't new in 1986, but Top Gun scored with audiences on the strength of its visuals, especially the vertigo-inducing aerial sequences. The film made more money than any other film in 1986 and even spawned a 1989 takeoff, Hot Shots. An Academy Award went to the Giogio Moroder-Tom Whitlock song "Take My Breath Away." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Editorial Review of DVD
One of the '80s most popular films, Top Gun makes its way to DVD with the bare minimum of features: widescreen and standard formats, Dolby Digital Surround and 5.1 Audio in English and French, Spanish subtitles, and interactive menus. Though trailers, commentary, or production notes would have added interest to the disc, fans of Top Gun's breathtaking aerial camera work and action sequences will still find something to like about this somewhat disappointing DVD. ~ Heather Phares, All Movie Guide
