In 1971, Navy fighter pilot Leland 'Buzz' Harley soars through the skies with reckless abandon, agitating his co-pilot, Dominick 'Mail Man' Farnham. In pursuit of an enemy plane, Buzz pushes the aircraft past its speed limit, and he and Mail Man are forced to eject. Entangled by his seat belt, Mail Man crash lands in a forest. He survives, but is shot by hunters who mistake him for a deer. Twenty years later, Navy Lieutenant Commander Block drives to a remote Indian reservation to convince Buzz Harley's son, Sean 'Topper' Harley, to return to the Navy for a special mission...

Hot Shots! Part Deux is an absurd comedy that follows Topper Harley, a former Navy SEAL, as he is recruited for a top-secret mission to rescue hostages in the Middle East. With his signature wit and comedic timing, Topper takes on the Persian Gulf and a variety of hilarious obstacles along the way.
