Top Gun: Maverick's spectacular conclusion established that Pete "Maverick" Mitchell (Tom Cruise) still has it and reaffirmed his standing as one of the best jet pilots the US Navy has ever seen. director Joseph Kosinski's sequel takes Top Gun to new heights, outperforming the original in practically every way as a 21st-century action movie blockbuster while retaining the nostalgia and symbolism of the 1986 film directed by the late Tony Scott. Top Gun: Maverick also paid homage to the original film's heroes, such as Iceman (Val Kilmer) and Goose (Anthony Edwards), while also adding new characters, such as Goose's son Rooster (Miles Teller), who may help the franchise progress.

The ending of Top Gun: Maverick focused on the task Maverick had prepared the previous Top Gun graduates for: the destruction of an underground uranium facility in an unknown enemy country. It was an impossible mission that required flying low across a valley at high speeds, pinpoint targeting precision, and a life-threatening ascent to escape hitting with a mountain and blacking out. The Top Gun pilots would then have to fight off the enemy's technologically superior 5th generation fighter planes in a duel.

Following the death of Iceman, a.k.a. Admiral tom Kazansky, Maverick lost his protection, and Cyclone (Jon Hamm), who was not a fan of Maverick's, replaced him as Top Gun's instructor. Maverick, on the other hand, stole a plane and flawlessly executed the simulation, demonstrating to the students that their difficult mission could be completed because "it's not the plane, it's the pilot." Maverick then took command of the mission, putting an end to Rooster's long-standing feud with his late father's colleague.
