PG-13 films are movies rated by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) that are suitable for viewers aged 13 and older. This rating indicates that some material may be inappropriate for younger children, including mild violence, language, or suggestive themes. Parents are encouraged to provide guidance when children under 13 watch these films. The PG-13 rating was introduced in 1984 to bridge the gap between PG and R ratings. It allows filmmakers to explore more complex themes while still making their films accessible to a broader audience. Many popular blockbusters, including superhero and adventure films, often fall into this category.
