Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is the hottest pilot in the US Navy and he knows it. Reckless, cocky, and fuelled by an ego the size of an aircraft carrier, he earns a spot at the elite Fighter Weapons School known as Top Bun, where the best of the best compete to prove who owns the skies. But between dangerous dogfights, a heated rivalry with the ice-cold Iceman, and a romance that's heating up faster than the afterburners, Maverick must decide whether he's willing to follow the rules or fly by his own. The need for speed is real. So is the need for feed.
