I.S.S. is officially rated R. Bontent's independent parent guide recommends it for ages 15+.

I.S.S. is a claustrophobic thriller set aboard the International Space Station as nuclear war breaks out on Earth. Astronauts Kira and her colleagues are ordered to seize control of the station, leading to intense paranoia, betrayal, and lethal conflict. Parents should be aware of moderate violence, recurring…

Contains brief, mild sexual content, including a passionate kiss between two characters and a woman referencing her past experience with infidelity.

Violence is gritty and realistic, including a character being struck in the head with a heavy object, fatal stabbings with tools like screwdrivers and drills, and a strangulation sequence. Blood is depicted, and the conflict escalates as the film progresses.

Moderate; the dialogue includes approximately six uses of the 'f-word' and at least one use of 's***'.

Very light; a few scenes depict adult characters drinking alcohol in the station's galley.

The film explores heavy themes of nationalistic duty, moral ambiguity, the survival of the human species, and deep-seated paranoia in the face of global catastrophe.

I.S.S. runs 96 minutes, directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite, released in 2024.
