Totally 80s Summer: Top Gun Description:
Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is a catastrophe waiting to happen. If your job is to fly the most expensive, high-performing fighter planes in the world, you're expected to be a little cautious, but Maverick flies so recklessly that you can almost see the lawsuits swirling in his jet wake. The only thing saving him is that he's the best--the best on his aircraft carrier, and maybe the best in the world. And when his commanding officer sends him to the pilot academy at NAS Miramar--better known as Top Gun--he has the chance to prove it.

At Top Gun, Maverick finds himself in a ferociously competitive environment, surrounded by pilots just as ambitious as he is--especially Tom "Iceman" Kazanski, a brilliant pilot who flies strictly by the book. Iceman instantly dislikes Maverick's antics, and the two men have increasingly hideous arguments over their life philosophies. Meanwhile, Maverick is smitten with his teacher, an alluring astrophysicist named Charlie, and the rest of the school's staff has its hands full trying to keep him on task. And all the while, American trading ships glide back and forth in the Indian Ocean, only a mechanical failure away from drifting into Warsaw Pact waters and igniting World War III...

With stunning aerial photography, a lush synth score, the best beach volleyball match in film history, and Tom Cruise at the jaw-muscle-clenching peak of his talents, Top Gun is the epitome of cinema in Ronald Reagan's America. Come experience this hymn to militarism and masculinity at the final installment of Totally '80s Summer at The Roxy.
