An Officer and a Gentleman
DramaRomance124 min
Zack Mayo arrives at Navy aviation officer training determined to become a pilot and to rely on no one but himself. Richard Gere is Zack, a gifted cadet whose discipline and intelligence are undercut by his cold streak, putting him in constant conflict with the hard-driving Emil Foley. Off base, Zack starts seeing Debra Winger's Paula, a local woman whose openness exposes the limits of his self-protective routine. Between the punishing demands of officer school and a romance he doesn’t know how to handle, the film keeps its focus on class, ambition, and the bruising work of growing up.
