‘Top Gun: Maverick’ lawsuit alleging blockbuster film too similar to magazine article is tossed

borrowed too much from a 1983 magazine article that inspired the original “Top Gun” film.In a decision on Friday, US District Judge Percy Anderson in Los Angeles said the sequel was not “substantially similar” to Ehud Yonay’s “Top Guns,” about the US Navy’s Top Gun fighter pilot training school in San Diego.Yonay’s widow Shosh Yonay and son Yuval Yonay, the heirs to his copyright, said they deserved some of the sequel’s profits, after Paramount built a billion-dollar franchise off an article that “breathed life into the technical humdrum of a navy base.”Lawyers for the Yonays did not immediately respond on Monday to requests for comment.
