Top Gun: Maverick's phenomenally successful journey at the worldwide box office has hit a sudden speedbump. The Tom Cruise-starrer has found itself mired in a lawsuit over copyright infringement. Paramount Pictures is being sued by Shosh and Yuval Yonay, the widow and son of late Israeli author Ehud Yonay. Notably, the original blockbuster Top Gun (1986) derived its core story from Yonay's 1983 article.
