Avengers: Infinity War

2018

As the Avengers and their allies have continued to protect the world from threats too large for any one hero to handle, a new danger has emerged from the cosmic shadows: Thanos. A despot of intergalactic infamy, his goal is to collect all six Infinity Stones, artifacts of unimaginable power, and use them to inflict his twisted will on all of reality. Everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment - the fate of Earth and existence itself has never been more uncertain.

Ages 13+Source checked

Why this age? PG-13 intensity includes frequent fantasy violence, frightening threats, torture, major character deaths, sacrificial death, mass-casualty imagery, and sustained emotional distress; plot complexity also assumes familiarity with earlier MCU films. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
