BATTLE MOUNTAIN is a documentary following the Scottish racing cyclist Graeme Obree as he prepares for the world human-powered vehicle land speed record attempt in Nevada.

language
There are four clear uses of strong language ('f**k'), which are spoken during moments of stress or frustration, rather than in an aggressive or directed fashion. There is also some milder bad language ('pissed', 'shitting', 'arse', 'bloody', 'God').
sex
Obree talks about taking a prescribed anti-depressant that resulted in priapism, which he describes as a 'stiffy' that required surgery to rectify.
injury detail
There is close-up sight of an infected leg wound being packed out; however, there is no strong gory detail.
suicide and self-harm
In one scene, Obree refers to his unsuccessful suicide attempts, briefly describing the methods. However, he does not endorse suicide and says instead that he is grateful to be alive.
additional issues
There are some negative verbal references to substance abuse and drug use in cycling.
