Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, un Tom Cruise in piena forma, e Nick "Goose" Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards) sono rispettivamente pilota e navigatore di aerei da guerra, nonché cadetti della prestigiosa scuola per i Top Gun, la crème de la crème dell'aeronautica militare americana. Fra molteplici acrobazie aeree e spacconate assortite si avvicenda la storia d'amore tra Maverick e Charlie, l'insegnante di volo interpretata da un'affascinante Kelly McGillis. Il pilota protagonista nella parte conclusiva del film si troverà a dover fare i conti con una crisi depressiva che gli farà perdere la fiducia nelle sue doti da pilota e che lo metterà a dura prova durante una missione aerea contro la minaccia comunista, priva di volto, anonima, personificata dagli aerei Mig russi.
