Top Gun: Maverick

Movie · 2022

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.
