# Apocalypto Parental Guide This R-rated Mayan-set action film contains strong violence including brutal combat and ritualistic scenes, along with strong language and some sexual content. The intense, dark storyline and graphic imagery make it unsuitable for children and most young teens. Best reserved for mature audiences who can handle extreme content.
