# Taken - Parental Guide This action thriller follows a former operative rescuing his kidnapped daughter from human traffickers across Europe. While rated PG-13, it contains intense violence, gunfights, and brutal scenes that may disturb younger children. The strong action content and dark subject matter make it better suited for mature teens 15 and up rather than younger children.
