	Top Gun was Cloze (1): on May 16, 1986. It is an American action drama film. It was Cloze (2): by Tony Scott, and produced by Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, in association with Paramount Pictures. The film Cloze (3): Tom Cruise, Kelly McGillis, Val Kilmer, Anthony Edwards, and Tom Skerritt.
	This action drama film was Cloze (4): at multiple San Diego county locations. Top Gun was also very well known for its soundtrack. The album Cloze (5): number one in the US charts. Additionally, the film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Take My Breath Away" performed by Berlin which is included in the album.
	In the film, Tom Cruise Cloze (6): Lieutenant Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a young naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise. He and his Radar Intercept Officer, Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (Edwards) are given the opportunity to train at the US Navy's Fighter Weapons School at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, California.
	I strongly Cloze (7): Top Gun, because it an action packed film. For people who love planes, cars and motorcycles, you can see various F-5 Tiger aircraft, Maverick’s (Tom Cruise) motorcycle, a Kawaski Ninja and Charlotte Blackwood (Kelly McGillis) driving a 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster. The film is really one exciting moment after the other. Moreover, the film also portrays loyalty and friendship. A sequel, Cloze (8): Top Gun: Maverick is scheduled for release on December 23, 2020. I can’t wait, I’m really looking forward to this new release.
