Top Gun movie poster.

Movie (1986)

Starring:
Tom Cruise (Maverick)
Kelly McGillis (Charlie)
Val Kilmer (Iceman)
Anthony Edwards (Goose)
Tom Skerritt (Viper)

When his wingman loses his nerve, Maverick gets the chance to attend the Navy's Fighter Weapons School, Top Gun. Here he meets his ultimate competition, his hero and true love but pays a tough sacrifice for it.

Northrop F-5F Tiger II

Portrayed as fictional "MiG-28" fighters, these aircraft are painted in fictional gloss black paint schemes with Soviet-esque roundels on the tails. They are claimed to carry Exocet anti-ship missiles, but are only shown with AIM-9 Sidewinders.
Same aircraft in other movies at IMPDb: Frequently Seen Aircraft.
