About Gran Turismo
Gran Turismo is based on the unbelievable true story of a team of unlikely underdogs – a struggling working-class gamer (Archie Madekwe), a failed former racecar driver (David Harbour), and an idealistic motorsport executive (Orlando Bloom).
Together, they risk it all to take on the most elite sport in the world.
Gran Turismo is an inspiring, thrilling, and action-packed story that proves that nothing is impossible when you’re fueled from within.

Age Rating of Gran Turismo: Parents Guide (7 Big Things)
Can your kids watch this one? What is the age rating of Gran Turismo?
This parent’s guide will help you decide if your family can handle the seven big issues with movies and shows: mature topics, gore, violence, language, sex, romance, and nudity. We’ll also give the Gran Turismo age rating and age-appropriate recommendations.
Language
Language would likely be your biggest concern in this movie.
There are frequent uses of swears, but thankfully not too many of the “big ones” that most parents find upsetting for younger kids.
Your kids will hear:
- holy sh!t
- bullsh!t
- oh g-d
- @ssholes
- F-bombs
- b!tch
- J@sus Chr!st
- suck
- h@ll
- G-d d@mmit
- d@mn
Age Rating of Gran Turismo: Is It Safe For Teens When It Comes To Sex, Romance, and Nudity?
There is no real sex or nudity in Gran Turismo.
There is one scene where a man and woman share a kiss, but it doesn’t go past that point.
There is also a comment made by someone on the pit crew that a driver “broke your cherry” which is a sexual connotation but not used in a sexual way.
Violence and Gore: Is Gran Turismo Too Scary For Kids Under 13?
There are some intense racing scenes that culminate in crashes.
While the crashes do not show blood or gore, they are violent in nature.
There is a scene where a driver is pulled from a fiery wreck as well.
We wouldn’t call this a violent movie at all, but there are moments that could be intense for young or sensitive kids.
Is Gran Turismo Ok For Kids: Mature Topics
There are topics covered related to family dynamics: parents believing and supporting a child going a different path than expected.
Teens are seen drinking (over the age of 18 in England is legal for them to do so) and they are also seen sneaking out of the house. Two brothers take a car behind their parents’ backs.
Death and grief are also covered, including the guilt felt when one causes harm to another person. There are some heavy moments.
Parents Guide: Is Gran Turismo Appropriate For Kids Under 13?
As always, you know your kids best.
This is a solidly entertaining and at times emotional based on true events race car movie. Kids who played the video game or have an interest in cars will likely love the underdog story.
As long as language isn’t a hard no for your family, we think kids as young as 10 could enjoy the movie if they can sit for the full 2 hours and 15 minutes. It’s a long one, but a great ride to the finish!
