threat and horror
Archival images show scenes of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 1981, such as the blazing shuttle reentering the atmosphere, and bits of wreckage found after the crash. Pilots come under brief threat from a passing plane during a mishap in training, but all ends reassuringly.
language
There is mild bad language ('crap', 'ass'), accompanied by other milder terms ('freaking', 'hell', 'God' and 'damn').
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Some scenes explore the discriminatory attitudes that disadvantaged Latin Americans in the mid to late twentieth century, such as the protagonist being mistaken for a janitor on his first day of work. However, such issues are handled sensitively and are clearly not endorsed by the film as a whole, with focus on the protagonist succeeding in the face of such adversity. There are also scenes of emotional upset, including mourners gathering to grieve for a man thought to have been murdered.
