The Boston Pops will perform the score live to picture, conducted by Constantine Kitsopoulous (Friday, June 20, 8 p.m.).  

Top Gun: Maverick was nominated for six Academy Awards® including best picture and best original song, winning best sound.  

After more than 30 years of service as one of the Navy’s top aviators, Pete “Maverick” Mitchell (Tom Cruise) is where he belongs, pushing the envelope as a courageous test pilot and dodging the advancement in rank that would ground him. When he finds himself training a detachment of TOPGUN graduates for a specialized mission, the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen, Maverick encounters Lt. Bradley Bradshaw (Miles Teller), call sign: “Rooster,” the son of Maverick’s late friend and Radar Intercept Officer Lt. Nick Bradshaw, aka “Goose.”  

Facing an uncertain future and confronting the ghosts of his past, Maverick is drawn into a confrontation with his own deepest fears, culminating in a mission that demands the ultimate sacrifice from those who will be chosen to fly it. 

Top Gun Maverick in Concert is a Royal Albert Hall production with thanks to esk. film.
