The film focuses on Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Cruise), a brazen, aggressive U.S. Navy pilot. While Maverick builds a devil-may-care behavior throughout the movie’s first two acts, this rapidly changes with the disastrous death of his best friend, Nick “Goose” Bradshaw (Anthony Edwards). More precisely, Goose dies during training after his head was whacked on the aircraft canopy. While Maverick is prepared to eject from the plane and is later cleaned by a board of inquiry, he proceeds to accuse himself of Goose’s demise. At the end of the film, Maverick is eventually able to let his pal go after throwing the dog tags given to him by his Goose into the ocean.
