What is Top Gun ? 36 years on from his breakthrough performance in the original Top Gun film, Tom Cruise is back to star as Pete Mitchell in follow-up Top Gun: Maverick, which hit cinemas at the end of last week. Let’s look back at how the original, directed by Tony Scott in 1986, became a cult film and has remained relevant in popular culture to this day.
