Jingoism, beefcake, military hardware, and a Giorgio Moroder rock score reign supreme over taste and logic in this Tony Scott film about a maverick trainee pilot (Tom Cruise) who can't follow the rules at a Navy aviation training facility. The dogfight sequences between American and Soviet jets at the end are absolutely mechanical, though audiences loved it at the time. The love story between Cruise's character and that of Kelly McGillis is like flipping through pages of advertising in a glossy magazine. This designer action movie from 1986 would be all the more appalling were it not for the canny casting of good actors in dumb parts. Standouts include Anthony Edwards--who makes a nice impression as Cruise's average-Joe pal--and the relatively unknown Meg Ryan in a small but memorable appearance. --Tom Keogh

Customer Reviews

Top Gun HD DVD
I saw this movie when first released in Video and liked it back than so bought the standard DVD and now the HD DVD with some great action & acting & music Recommended .

Bad Copy
I have now owned this movie on VHS, DVD, and now BD. Unfortunately, the copy from the masters is rather grainy for HD. The audio is outstanding, but again, while it obviously looks better than a DVD, this might be one of the worst BD's I've seen since they came out. I know that the masters are 20 years old, but the BD of Halloween looks AMAZING, and that movie is 30 years old. I must admit that I had high hopes, and was a little dissapointed. My reccomendation would be wait until they release the "Special Edition," which I'm sure they undoubtedly will.

Side note: extras are all in SD.

The best of the best
Enough said about the movie itself - an instant 80s classic! This blu-ray transfer however tops every other version on dvd: first class picture for its age and a DTS-HD audio the rocks your home cinema. Absolutely recommended!!
