Sex and nudity in Stalker
None. The film includes no on-screen sexual activity or nudity.
Violence and gore in Stalker
Strong, mostly non-graphic but disturbing. The Zone contains abandoned tanks, visible corpses and other human remnants (seen inside ruined industrial sites), and a dark passage the Stalker calls the "meat grinder" that is described and framed as lethal to those the Zone deems 'unworthy.' There is also a tense, physical scuffle when the Professor reveals he has brought a bomb, and frequent peril from armed guards and hazardous terrain. These sequences are atmospheric and unsettling rather than graphically bloody…

Brief coarse language in heated moments and arguments. Characters exchange harsh words during arguments in the bar and during confrontations inside the Zone; there are a few angry tirades but no sustained profanity-heavy soundtrack. Expect occasional strong-sounding insults and raised voices rather than explicit repeated slurs.
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Stalker
Minor, realistic depiction of alcohol and smoking. Key scenes take place in a rundown bar-café where characters drink and smoke while talking; later the group shares simple drinks on return. No drug use or on-screen intoxication that drives the plot.
Mature themes in Stalker
Strong, adult-level themes run throughout: existential despair, obsession, moral judgment, and suicide. The backstory about the Stalker's mentor Porcupine hanging himself after visiting the Room is recounted directly, and the film dwells on meaninglessness, guilt, and the ethical cost of desire. There's also a quiet supernatural element involving a child (psychokinesis) and questions about faith versus cynicism.
