Suspenseful, classic, but language is unavoidable.
I like this movie, for being a tolerable family movie for it's time. Even more, my dad's best friend's great-uncle was the General at NORAD at that time. Suspense is a good factor of this movie, hackers may not want to risk starting a nuclear war because of this. Funny, but watch out, language is present in this movie.

you should't always lisen to csm
this movie has a medium amount of language including the s-word. theres no violence but if you include a fake nucular war as violence theres plenty of it. theres a sexual joke that young kids should't hear. young kids may get scared of a few things in this movie.

10 and up
I don't know what people are talking about this movie is not scary, there isn't a whole lot of language(and the language there is is very tame). At times it can be a bit intense, but nothing out and out scary.

Iffy for ages 12-15.
I'm very surprised and disappointed with both the MPAA rating and the CSM rating. This movie has a TON of language, I was shocked to here so much swearing in a PG movie. This movie contains every, or almost every non-sexually derived swear word, and plenty of it. "PG for thematic intensity"? PLEASE. I've seen language mentioned in a PG movie for mild language such as "d--n" or "h--l". But yet they just happen not to mention language in a PG movie that has more language than many PG-13 movies? Wow. But yes, this movie definitely contains thematic intensity. My main concern would be the strong language and the scene of a sexually-themed biology class. Iffy for ages 12-15, off for 11 and under.

Cautionary movie
This movie was created before there was PG-13, and it's definitely not R. It's a good, cautionary tale.
