After more than 30 years of serving as the Navy's top pilot, Pete Mitchell (code-named "The Lone Ranger")(played by Tom Cruise) decides to break the limitations of the system and face greater challenges as a test pilot. When he received orders to train a group of graduates of the High-Sky Sword program for a difficult special mission, he met Lieutenant Bradley Bradshaw (code name: "Roosters"), the late friend and radar interception officer, son of Lieutenant Nick Bradshaw, codenamed "Stupid Goose." Faced with an uncertain future and lingering demons, the lone ranger must overcome his innermost fears. As a result, he was involved in a task that required great sacrifice.
