Moderate sex and nudity, which is more than most PG-13 titles carry. Beyond that, mild language and strong 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.

What is Oblivion about?
Jack Harper is one of the last few drone repairmen stationed on Earth. Part of a massive operation to extract vital resources after decades of war with a terrifying threat known as the Scavs, Jack’s mission is nearly complete.
