Dune (2021): parents' guide

Frequent combat with blades, guns and bombardment, including a long night invasion with a high body count, stabbings, a duel to the death and executions implied by a falling blade. Some bloody hands and swords. Guards threaten to rape a captive woman before she turns the tables and they die.

Sparse: Plugged In counted one s-word and single uses of 'damn,' 'ass' and 'my God.' No f-words.

Paul dreams of kissing a young woman, and his parents are seen clothed in bed. A drugged man sits naked with nothing explicit visible, the villain's bare body is shown, and some gowns are sheer. No sex.

Spice, a mind-altering and addictive substance everyone fights over, drives the plot. Breathing it triggers Paul's visions, and the desert people have blue eyes from long exposure. No alcohol or smoking to speak of.

A pain test with a poisoned needle held to Paul's neck, giant sandworms swallowing people, a menacing floating villain, chanting soldiers in a bloody ritual, and visions of holy war. A parent's death is shown. The mood is dark throughout.
