Was 'Top Gun' Propaganda? Does It Matter?
No other decade was more favorable for action films than the 1980s. Of all the action films released during the 1980s, Top Gun set a standard for aerial combat and solidified Tom Cruise’s status as a matinée idol. In 1986, with the Cold War in its twilight years. Top Gun would do far more than simply enthrall audiences with its action sequences, but also be utilized as a means of propaganda to bolster the ranks of the United States Navy. Top Gun was the perfect media barrage, a film that drew in large numbers, a soundtrack that’s since become iconic, and a way to generate excitement for a possible career as a fighter pilot.
