“‘Top Gun’ is the type of movie that turns the screen into an altar. Kneeling before its slick façade of 1980s magnificence, you are in the shadow of a film that has defined the modern day action blockbuster”
DOORS: 19:00 | FILM STARTS 20:30

But when he gets the opportunity to attend the prestigious TOPGUN training programme and fly with the best of the best, can Mitchell temper his reckless behaviour before it jeopardises his career – and his colleagues’ safety?
