violence
Moderate war violence features intense aerial dogfights with exchanges of gunfire, explosions as planes are hit and crash in flames, and pilots are shot inside their aircrafts, with occasional sight of blood splatters over the cockpit glass. Two men have a bareknuckle fight in which undetailed, but impactful, punches are thrown. There are also references to war violence, such as images of destroyed buildings in the aftermath of bombing raids.
threat and horror
There is moderate threat as pilots in fighter planes attempt to dodge attacks from enemy aircraft.
language
There is implied strong language ('feck'), as well as milder terms such as 'shit', 'bloody', 'arse', 'sod', 'piss', 'bugger', 'bastard', 'damn', 'hell' and 'Christ'.
discrimination
