TOP GUN at Aerospace Bristol

  • Aerospace Bristol Hayes Way Bristol, England, BS34 5BZ United Kingdom (map)
‘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
— Almar Haflidason (BBC)

DOORS: 19:00 | FILM STARTS 20:30

Join us for a truly memorable film night in the company of Concorde Alpha Foxtrot, in its magnificent home at Aerospace Bristol. Before the film, step onboard Concorde and enjoy fascinating archival footage of her maiden flight. When the film starts, take your seats beneath the wings of this iconic plane and settle back to enjoy the show!

Due to massive demand we’re bringing another screening of Top Gun to Aerospace Bristol. If the excellent sequel has got you feeling the need for speed all over again, or you’re looking for a night that will really take your breath away, then join us for a high-octane screening of Maverick’s original outing in all its 80s glory!

About The Film

1986 | 12A | 110 mins

US Naval Aviator Pete “Maverick” Mitchell lives up to his callsign, to the chagrin of his superiors. 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?

About The Location

Concorde Foxtrot Alpha was the last of its kind to be built and the last to fly; it ended its journey in Bristol and is now displayed in a custom-built hangar at Aerospace Bristol. Explore onboard then watch aviation-themed films beneath the wings of this iconic plane.
