Overview

Hot Shots! is a 1991 comedy spoof film starring Charlie Sheen, Cary Elwes, Valeria Golino, Lloyd Bridges, Kevin Dunn, Jon Cryer and Ryan Stiles. It was directed by Jim Abrahams, and was written by Abrahams and Pat Proft. Carrying the same comedic vein as Airplane!, a film Abrahams co-directed, the film primarily spoofs the 1986 action film Top Gun, but also draws material from films like Rocky and Superman. It spawned a sequel in 1993, Hot Shots! Part Deux. Sheen and Cryer would later co-star in the television series Two and a Half Men, in which Stiles also went on to play a recurring role.

A causa del disonore di cui si era ricoperto suo padre, Topper Harley, un eroico pilota, si ritira a vita privata, ma viene richiamato in servizio per una pericolosissima missione, denominata 'Donnola sonnolenta'. Topper é così impegnato a dimostrare di essere all'altezza di quello specialissimo gruppo e allo stesso tempo entra in conflitto con Gregory per la conquista dell'amore della psichiatra della base. Intanto però, un gruppo di industriali cerca di far fallire la missione.

Tug Benson, il rimbecillito presidente degli USA, Stati Uniti invia tre missioni consecutive in Medio Oriente, per liberare i soldati americani, fatti prigionieri dal perfido despota, che vuol così vendicarsi degli Stati Uniti. Ma una dopo l'altra le tre missioni falliscono e i loro componenti vengono fatti prigionieri. Benson decide allora che solo l'eroe "Topper" Harley puo' riuscire nell'impresa, e incarica il colonnello Denton Walters di trovarlo e convincerlo.
