Top Gun: Godzilla S.O.S. (Japanese: シン・ゴジラ×トップガン, Hepburn: Shin Gojira tai Toppugan, released in Japan as Shin Godzilla vs. Top Gun) is a 2030 Japanese-American kaiju action film directed by Shinji Higuchi, and written by Hideaki Anno and Christopher McQuarrie. It is produced by Toho Studios, Cine Bazar, Paramount Pictures, TC Productions and Jerry Bruckheimer Films, and distributed by Toho in Japan, and Paramount Pictures internationally. A sequel to 2016's Shin Godzilla and 2027's Top Gun: Maverick and Rooster, it is the fourth film in the Top Gun franchise, the 42nd film in the Godzilla franchise, Toho's 36th Godzilla film, and the eighth film in the franchise's Reiwa era. It stars Tom Cruise, Hiroki Hasegawa, Satomi Ishihara, Miles Teller and Yutaka Takenouchi. In the film, Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell of the United States military has to stop Godzilla's rampage alongside Japan, after the colossal creature breaks out from his state of suspended hibernation.

When Top Gun: Maverick was released to Japan, it was a critical and financial success, winning the Japan Academy Film Prize for Best Foreign Language Film, and grossing $101.7 million in the country. Toho sought out to rent the IP from Paramount, in which the studio gave Toho the rights for the Top Gun franchise in July 2027, two months after Top Gun: Maverick and Rooster was released. Toho asked Shin Godzilla writer-director Hideaki Anno to write and direct the film, and Jerry Bruckheimer to produce the film, and get Tom Cruise to be in the film. Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie joined production on October 2027. McQuarrie expanded on Anno's initial screenplay, while Cruise spent six months relearning the Japanese language. This was the first time both Cruise and McQuarrie worked on a major non-Hollywood production. When Anno passed off being the director of the film, his longtime partner, Shinji Higuchi, was hired. Toho financed ¥3.1 billion (~$21 million) into the film, whilst Paramount put in $50 million into production, with a combined budget of roughly $71 million, which made it the most expensive Godzilla film produced by Toho, and the most expensive Japanese film production of all time. Principal photography commenced from March 2028 to January 2029.

Top Gun: Godzilla S.O.S. was theatrically released in Japan on April 26, 2030, and in the United States on May 29. The film was lauded by critics, applauding Higuchi's direction, the cast's performances, visual effects and action sequences. It was nominated for 11 Japan Academy Film Prize awards, winning eight, including Picture of the Year, Best Director and Best Screenplay. It was also nominated for five awards at the 103rd Academy Awards (including Best Picture), winning Best Sound and Best International Feature Film. The film grossed $715.8 million, which made it the highest-grossing Godzilla film of all time, the highest-grossing film produced in Japan, the fifth-highest grossing film with its language primarily not being English and the eighth-highest grossing film of 2030.
