background: The first film to receive the PG-13 rating was Red Dawn in 1984, directed by John Milius and starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, and Jennifer Grey. Released on August 10, 1984, the movie depicts a fictional Soviet invasion of the United States and the violent resistance of a group of teenagers, which included intense battle scenes, blood, and mature themes that were considered too strong for a traditional PG rating but not explicit enough for an R rating. The PG-13 rating itself was introduced by the Motion Picture Association of America earlier that year in response to growing concerns from parents after films like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Gremlins were found to be more intense than expected for younger audiences, bridging the gap between the PG and R categories and marking a significant shift in Hollywood’s approach to content advisories.
