“Top Gun Maverick” became Tom Cruise’s highest-grossing film.
Behind the fascination he aroused in his year top Gun there is a little-known network involving the Ronald Reagan government; a mystery that, undeniably, contributes to the almost mythical character which, little by little, over the decades, is acquiring overproduction.

The main idea was that the character was having a love affair with a non-commissioned officer in the navy, but the adviser sent by the army, during the review of the script, felt that it was not convenient for two members of the forces who worked together to have a deal.
The current commander of the Miramar base at that time he refused to let filming begin if Tom Cruise was having an affair with a character who shared naval rank with his Maverick.
When Bruckheimer asked for possible alternatives, the commander suggested that the woman was a civilian instructor or analyst and introduced her to Christine Fox, a civilian mathematician and contractor at the Center for Naval Analysis.

In fact, she was, like Charlie, an air superiority analyst who had worked at Naval Air Station Miramar and had participated in the assessment and training of airmen in the TOPGUN program.
