Top Gun: Maverick
A PG-13 action sequel built around intense aerial combat, with themes of grief, guilt, and legacy running throughout. The action is frequent and high-stakes but keeps gore minimal; the main sensitivities are sustained peril, the death of a beloved character from illness, and moderate language.

Maverick pushes an experimental jet past Mach 10; the aircraft disintegrates and he ejects, landing hard in the desert with no serious injury shown.
A scene between Maverick and a gravely ill former colleague shows the character struggling to speak and communicate; the moment is emotional and his condition is visibly serious.
Extended scene of male pilots playing football shirtless; played for camaraderie rather than explicit content.
