# Airplane! - Parent Guide This slapstick comedy about a former pilot saving a plane from disaster is silly fun with no offensive language, violence, or sexual content—making it generally safe for children. The humor relies on absurd situations and wordplay rather than anything crude, though some jokes may go over younger children's heads. It's perfect family viewing for children who appreciate physical comedy.
