All it takes is the opening scene of Cruise as Maverick pushing a plane\u2019s limits to a daunting Mach 10 while \u201cHighway to the Danger Zone\u201d plays to realize that this is a worthy, often exemplary follow-up to the 1986 classic.

One of the young fliers is Rooster (Miles Teller), the son of his late pal Goose. (Don\u2019t worry, Anthony Edwards doesn\u2019t play a ghost.) Mav wrestles with allowing Rooster to fly at all, which will put him in danger of his dad\u2019s fate.<\/p>\n<p>The other lieutenants all have big \u201cBreakfast Club\u201d personalities and those goofy callsigns: Hangman (Glen Powell), the jerk; Phoenix (Monica Barbaro), the powerful woman who has to put up with dudely nonsense; Coyote (Greg Tarzan Davis); Fanboy (Danny Ramirez); Payback (Jay Ellis); and geeky Bob (Lewis Pullman). Them and their uninformed compatriots compete for six coveted mission slots. <\/p>\n<p>Providing some villainy is Jon Hamm as Cyclone \u2014 a cold, by-the-book vice admiral who is skeptical of Maverick\u2019s unorthodox and life-threatening teaching style. Mav, you see, is like Whoopi Goldberg in \u201cSister Act,\u201d if singing a song could get you blown to smithereens.<\/p>\n<p>Maverick also has a new\/old romance with bar owner Penny (Jennifer Connelly), whom he had a fling with sometime after his relationship with Kelly McGillis\u2019 Charlie ended. Pushing 60, Mav wants his personal life \u2014 if not his planes \u2014 to slow down.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/TOP-GUN-MAVERICK-19.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Penny (Jennifer Connelly) is Maverick's new love interest. \" class=\"wp-image-22240968\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/TOP-GUN-MAVERICK-19.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/TOP-GUN-MAVERICK-19.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/TOP-GUN-MAVERICK-19.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Penny (Jennifer Connelly) is Maverick\u2019s new love interest. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Paramount\/Courtesy Everett Col<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The teariest complication is Iceman, still played by Val Kilmer \u2014 who in real life has suffered from throat cancer and has difficulty speaking. Whatever animosity there was between Mav and Ice has melted, and their camaraderie is deeply moving. You\u2019ll be glad Kilmer agreed to make the movie.<\/p>\n<p>And then, of course, there\u2019s Cruise. Despite the man\u2019s consistently strange personal life, no action star working today demands the quality that Cruise demands. He is in peak form here in every respect, and the actors around him rise to his challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There is a fun scene on the beach in which Maverick has the oft-argumentative Top Gun fliers bond by playing football. Music plays, sun shines, water splashes. Naturally, everybody is shirtless, including Cruise. And, for a moment, the veteran actor blends in perfectly with these ripped, sexy 20somethings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The man is turning 60 in July. Really takes your breath away.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
