Sex & Nudity

none

Violence & Gore

Intense scenes of violence in the Martian invasion scenes. People are incinerated by the Martian death rays, the burning wreckage of a bus can be seen in Los Angeles. Includes themes of panic and the possible end of mankind.

Profanity

none

Brief tobacco use by an adult in the scene at the meteor crater.

The film is very frightening for children under the age of five, especially the scenes of people being vaporized by the Martian death rays. The Martian sneaking into the farmhouse is also very frightening.
