Why is “F1: The Movie” rated PG-13? The MPAA rating has been assigned for “strong language, and action.” The Kids-In-Mind.com evaluation includes an implied sex scene, a kissing scene, numerous scenes of high-speed races with cars crashing and spinning out leaving drivers injured and vehicles crumpled, many arguments and at least 4 F-words and other strong language. Read our parents’ guide below for details on sexual content, violence & strong language.
After a near fatal car crash during a race, a driver (Brad Pitt) returns to the track to help a friend (Javier Bardem) save his team. Also with Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Sarah Niles, Will Merrick, Joseph Balderrama, Abdul Salis, Callie Cooke and Samson Kayo. Directed by Joseph Kosinski.

F1: The Movie SEX/NUDITY 4
– A man and woman kiss passionately, they press against a wall and we see them sleeping in bed together later (sex is implied). A man and a woman kiss and embrace. People embrace in celebration.
► We hear that a man has been married and divorced numerous times. A woman says, “I never mess around with a member of my team.”
► A dance club shows scantily clad women spinning above the dance floor on cables (cleavage, bare abdomens, backs and legs to the hips are seen). A man showers while another man talks to him from outside the shower door (we see his bare shoulders). A man sits in ice baths in several scenes and we see his bare chest, shoulders and back. A woman wears a low-cut sweater that reveals cleavage. A woman wears an off-the-shoulder dress that reveals her bare shoulder and cleavage. Several scenes show a man and a younger man shirtless (we see their bare chests, abdomens and backs).
F1: The Movie VIOLENCE/GORE 4
– A driver speeds on a track and when he tries to pass another car, speeds off the track and sails through the air crashing and bursting into flames; another driver stops and pulls the injured driver out of the flames (we see the man’s suit charred and smoldering and see him recovering in the hospital with burns on his hands). Newsreel-type footage shows cars speeding around a track and the aftermath of a crash that leaves a car split in half and the driver motionless and twisted on the track (we see this a couple of times). Cars speed around tracks and swerve around each other; one car sprays oil on the windshield of another, a car bumps another car’s bumper as they speed along, and the cars bump into each other from the side, and one car speeds off the track and through a grassy patch before getting back on the track. A man drives during a race and appears very angry, crashes into a fence and we see him in the hospital later (he recovers). A man lunges toward another man accusing him of trying to run him off the track and two others hold him back. Drivers speak to each other disparagingly in several scenes and push each other a couple of times.
► Two cars bump together and spin out crashing through barriers (there are no explosions and the drivers are uninjured). A man tests a car and speeds around turns, and spins out and crashes into a wall (he is uninjured). Cars speed around each other on a track during a race and bump their tires together a few times causing some cars to jump off the ground but they don’t crash. Cars try to block each other from passing in races and bump into each other and during one race three cars bump each other off the track. Cars make contact during a race and crash into a barrier sending debris onto the track. Cars speed on sand mounds and jump in the air.
► Several scenes show discussions about whether to change the tires on cars or continue driving on worn tires. A team is told that they cannot race because of a problem with their car. A man tells another man, “Lose that lead and I’ll kill you.” We hear that a man has a problem with gambling. People argue in numerous scenes. People discuss the possibility of a team being sold if they don’t win. A woman tells a man that another man told her to “Avoid him like the plague.” A man says that he needs a car built for combat. A woman reprimands a man for being dangerous and causing a crash that left her son injured and in the hospital. Three people play poker for a starting position in a race. A man accuses another man of not listening. A man tells another man that he is off the driving team. We see an ad for “Crypto.com.” A man reads another man’s medical chart and we hear that his injuries (neck fracture) may cause vision loss, paralysis or death.
► A man winces in pain and seems to have double vision in a couple of scenes. A man is shown with a large scar down his spine. A man dunks his face in a sink filled with ice a couple of times. A man sits in ice baths in several scenes.
► Pit stops require teams to change tires very quickly and when a tool jams in one pit stop, it is dropped on the ground and the driver speeds over it unaware that it is there. Cars’ exhausts spray flames while driving. Cars change tires when the track becomes wet during a rainstorm.

CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
