The family of the author whose article inspired the Tom Cruise's movie Top Gun (1986) sued Paramount Pictures for copyright infringement over 2022's blockbuster sequel "Top Gun: Maverick." According to a complaint filed in Los Angeles Federal Court, the Paramount Global unit failed to reacquire the rights to Ehud Yonay's 1983 article "Top Guns" from the family before releasing the "derivative" sequel. The lawsuit by Shosh Yonay and Yuval Yonay, who live in Israel and are respectively Ehud's widow and son, sought unspecified damages, including profits from "Top Gun: Maverick," and to block distribution of the movie.
