A young stock car driver chases victory and confronts his fears in a world of speed and intense rivalries.
Earnest and suspenseful. A full-attention watch at a brisk pace. Emotionally it is heavy.
Streaming on Paramount+ and Peacock.
For a PG-13, this one goes further: moderate sex and nudity. Beyond that, some strong language and some violence.
Our estimate: fine from about 16, higher than the PG-13 suggests, because of the sex and nudity.
How we rate: an AI reads what is known about each title and tags it 0 to 3; we check the tags against a hand-rated set and correct them by hand when readers tell us. Estimates, not a scene-by-scene review. Spot a mistake? Tell us.
