Squadron Leader Shamsher Pathania (Hrithik Roshan), Squadron Leader Meenal Rathore (Deepika) and Group Captain Rakesh Jai Singh (Anil Kapoor), along with other members of the Air Dragons, are ready to give their all for the nation, while going through the highest levels. And the lows of their internal and external battles. The fighter’s trailer gave a glimpse of the aerial combat the film will offer. In fact, it has been described as India’s first aerial action film.
However, it is not the only one that features flying planes and pilots undergoing extensive training regimes. In no particular order, here’s a look at some movies with great aerial stunts, including films from the Top Gun series.
Pearl Harbor (2001)

Top Gun (1986)
The film is directed by Tony Scott, and stars Tom Cruise as Lieutenant Pete “Maverick” Mitchell, a young naval aviator aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.
