Where we left off
At the height of the Cold War, hotheaded naval aviator Maverick (Tom
Cruise) harnesses his need for speed, shoots down some bogeys, and wins
the heart of his instructor, fellow Righteous Brothers fan Charlie
(Kelly McGillis).
What oughta happen next
The tables turn as Mav, now a teacher at San Diego's elite flight
school, romances hotshot student Butch (Jennifer Garner). The Cold War
may be over, but when terrorists send Top Gun scrambling, Mav must slip
back into his jumpsuit to save L.A....and Butch.
Could it get made?
It almost was in the early 1990s — and it's not too late. Although
producer Don Simpson and coscreenwriter Jim Cash have died, director
Tony Scott (Domino) could use a return to his roots, Cruise might need
to take on a familiar role after his current shenanigans, and producer
Jerry Bruckheimer, well, these days he can do whatever he wants.
