The BBFC produces detailed information about the content of every film and video game that we classify, which we call Extended Classification Information, or ECI.  This is in addition to the short sentence of Consumer Advice which appears on posters and advertising for films.  ECI is designed to explain in greater detail the issues, and in many cases the plot lines, which led to the film being given the classification it was.  As a result it may also contain plot spoilers, which is why you have to click on the link to open it.  Not everyone wants to see this information.

The ECI goes up on our site 10 days before the film opens.  Sometimes we classify films many weeks, or even months before they are due to open, which explains why not all films listed here will have a link to the ECI yet. If the ECI is available you will see the symbol above which you click on and this will open the ECI window for that film. Parents can find more detailed information about the content of ‘U’, ‘PG’, and ’12A’ films on our website www.pbbfc.co.uk.
