Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell as he finally confronts his past while he trains a rookie squad of graduates for a seemingly dangerous mission. It carries several plot twists about the return of Iceman and the development of other characters like Viper from the old movie.
According to Kosinski, “In our film, these are all Top Gun graduates who are coming back for a special training detachment — which is another aspect of Top Gun where they can go back for specialized training after they’ve already graduated. They’re at a different level of experience than in the first film.”
