To this end, we compare and analyze Top Gun: Maverick and Top Gun in terms of story structure and character characteristics, which are key elements of storytelling. As a result of the study, the story structure of Top Gun: Maverick is very similar to the preceding text Top Gun, and based on this, strong intertextuality is revealed. In addition, Top Gun: Maverick enhances intertextuality through the three-dimensional use of characters from the previous work and the nostalgic cinematic transformation of the characters
