What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

No product promotion or merchandise-driven content is identified. Real-world locations and CIA-related settings are incidental to the story.

Death of a character1/5
Why this rating?

The plot centers on a terrorist threat and dangerous action, but no character death is identified in the supplied material; any deaths appear unlikely to be central.

Graphic injury1/5
Why this rating?

The film involves spy action and danger, but the supplied plot gives no indication of graphic wounds, blood, or detailed injury.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

The PG-13 action-comedy setting supports some mild or moderate profanity and insults, but the supplied passages do not document specific language.

Religious themes2/5
Why this rating?

The Vatican is mentioned as a target for a plot, but no serious religious themes are explored.

Romance2/5
Why this rating?

A 14-year-old has a crush, a friend has feelings for her, and a budding romance develops near the conclusion.

Frightening scenes3/5
Why this rating?

A kidnapped teenager, terrorist pursuit, nuclear danger, and threats against the Vatican create sustained peril and suspense.

Sexual content & nudity1/5
Why this rating?

A teen crush and budding romance are mentioned, but there is no evidence of sexual activity, nudity, or explicit sexual material.

Alcohol or drugs1/5
Why this rating?

No substance use is described in the supplied plot. If present, it appears likely to be brief or incidental rather than a major theme.

Violence3/5
Why this rating?

Contains action-movie violence, including shootouts, chases, and hand-to-hand combat consistent with a PG-13 spy comedy.
