The content of this page was created directly by users and has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff.
Since the beliefs that parents want to instill in their children can vary greatly, we ask that, instead of adding your personal opinions about what is right or wrong in a film, you use this feature to help parents make informed viewing decisions by describing the facts of relevant scenes in the title for each one of the different categories: Sex and Nudity, Violence and Gore, Profanity, Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking, and Frightening/Intense Scenes.
Visit our Parents Guide Help to learn more

Sex & Nudity

One man rips off another's clothes (the character is only shown shirtless/from the chest up), then comments on how "very fair" his skin is while touching his chest. The scene is suggestive, but menacing rather than erotic.

Violence & Gore

Some comparatively mild violence. (Battle scenes, blowing up trains, mostly bloodless shootings, a character is nonfatally shot in the shoulder with blood shown and later a scar, a teenage character dies in quicksand, another young character is injured when a detonator explodes in his clothing and is shot in the head as a mercy, and a character is shown about to be beaten/tortured -- the scene focuses on his face as he's struck, but it's clear what's happening, and his wounds are later shown bleeding through his clothing.)

Profanity

Mild Language.

Both.

The deaths of young characters may be distressing, as well as the scene of implied torture/assault and its aftermath, but by modern standards the film is comparatively subdued.
