# Speed - Parental Guide This R-rated action thriller features intense violence, strong language, and a high-stakes premise involving a bomb on a bus. The constant danger and scary situations may disturb younger viewers, and the mature content makes it unsuitable for children under 15-16. Consider waiting until your child is a teenager before viewing.
