"Top Gun: Maverick" picks up Pete "Maverick" Mitchell's story over 30 years later. Cruise's character has spent his career as the most highly regarded fighter pilot in the Navy, but he's only risen in rank to as high as captain because of his renegade persona. However, Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky (Val Kilmer) remains a close friend recruits Mitchell to head back to the "Top Gun" academy to help train a new crop of graduates for a critical mission.

Among the pilots he encounters in at Naval Air Station Miramar is Lt. Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Mitchell's former wingman, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw. "Goose" tragically died in the first film and the grief of his loss has weighed heavily on Mitchell.
