Maverick (aka Tom Cruise) earned his wings as Tony Scott's film Top Gun launched on 3 October 1986. The year's biggest-earning film boosted sales of aviator-style sunglasses and also increased recruitment to the US Navy. Brash, noisy, and stylish, the film divided opinion among film reviewers: while many praised its action sequences, some criticised its overtly masculine and macho tone.

In this clip from Film 86, Tom Brook reports from New York on the film's phenomenal success and interviews Tom Cruise.
