Re: Top Gun 2
Here is the alleged script synopsis that is being floated around the internet as real. Assuming it is, I might go see it. Oh bullshit, I'll got see it either way.
Tom Cruise's character "Maverick" is head of the Top Gun school, taking over from Tom Skerritt's "Viper."
He has to fight off a senator who wants to shit-can manned fighters and the Top Gun School in favor of drones while simultaneously teaching a new generation of fighter pilots that dog fighting is about skill and awareness, not moving a cursor on a touchscreen.
In his last class before retiring he meets a young pilot like himself, who has a natural gift for flying while also breaking the rules in both the air and on the ground.
Just before the senator succeeds in closing the book on manned naval aviation, North Koreans start beef along the 38th parallel using stolen Chinese tech (shoutout to China, we won't make you the big bad guy, but you can still be in it cuz we want your money). This tech jams all frequencies used to control drones. Rumor has it that the drone-jamming tech was brought to NKOR by a group of Old Guard Rogue PLA pilots who defected to the NORKs, taking their sophisticated fighters with them.
Maverick's graduating class is in for fight of their lives.
