● Plot

- What happens in the movie (orientation, complication, sequence of events, resolution)

Answer: •(Orientation; The film begins with a narrative explaining that in 1969 the US Navy established
an elite aviation school to teach the art of aerial combat. and only a few American pilots have
successfully passed and been declared the best pilots in the world. the pilots call the school top gun.
then we are introduced to a captain named Maverick, he is one of the graduate pilots in the top gun 30
years ago.)

•(Complication; this is where the problem starts, when Maverick is assigned to the top gun, he gets a
mission from the pentagon. Maverick initially thought his mission was an easy mission until he finally
found out about Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, son of his late best friend Nick "Goose"
Bradshaw. For Rooster, Maverick is the person most responsible for his father's death. Maverick, in the
shadow of his past fears knows that the mission he is about to carry out is a very dangerous mission.
This is where Maverick is seen dealing with the shadows of the past and an uncertain future.)

•(Squence of events; After more than 30 years being known as the best Navy Pilot in history, Pete
'Maverick' Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is back to his true position behind the cockpit of a fighter plane.

The story begins when Maverick is ordered to immediately go to Top Gun training in the Northern
Islands by Admiral Chester 'Hammer' Cain. Hammer delivers that on the orders of Four Star Admiral
Tom 'Iceman' Kazanzky (Val Kilmer), Maverick's top rival and old friend. Despite the risks, Maverick was
determined to take the position thanks to the support of his close friend, Bernie 'Hondo' Coleman.
Maverick initially thought he would return to the cockpit of a fighter plane and fly freely in the sky. This
made him very excited.

Arriving at the Northern Islands base, Mav immediately confronts Beau "Cyclone" Simpson to accept
flying assignments.

As it turns out, Maverick was given the task of being an instructor for 16 Top Gun pilot candidates. They
will be selected for special assignments in combing out dangerous uranium factories belonging to
competing countries. They include Lieutenant Jake 'Hangman' Seresin, Lieutenant Natasha 'Phoenix'
Trace, 'Lieutenant Robert 'Bob' Floyd, or Lieutenant Mickey 'Fanboy' Garcia. In the midst of Maverick's
efforts to unite these top pilots as a solid group, he also met the figure of Penelope 'Penny' Benjamin.
Penny is the child of the former Maverick boss in the past. Penny is now a bar owner and a single
mother of a teenager, Amelia Benjamin. Not only that, Maverick also met a number of people who
made his memories 35 years ago revive and brought a number of more complicated conflicts. Not to
mention that Maverick struggles to teach his students to be able to complete missions that are actually
almost impossible.)
•(Resolusi; In essence, after going through all the obstacles and of course adrenaline, Maverick and his
