It Was Just an Accident: parents' guide

A captive is hit with a van door and a shovel, partly buried in the desert, then tied to a tree and slapped and kicked. Survivors describe past torture, including sexual assault, and a man says his fiancee killed herself; none is shown.

Plugged In counted two f-words and 13 s-words in the subtitles, plus bastard more than 15 times. Ass, bitch, hell, son of a bitch, whore and pissed also turn up during the group's angry arguments.

No sex or nudity is shown. A woman vomits at a wedding and a man jokes about morning sickness, and a captive's underwear shows briefly while his prosthetic leg is checked. Sexual threats described in testimony are covered under violence.

Several characters smoke cigarettes throughout, and the kidnappers drug their captive to keep him unconscious. No drinking or recreational drug use was noted.

Long stretches of tension as the group argues over killing a man who may be the wrong person, with an attempted live burial and a night interrogation. Survivors' torture accounts are harrowing, a dog is hit by a car in the opening, and the ending is unsettling.
