R-rated movies are restricted to viewers aged 17 and older.
Here's why:
* Content: R-rated movies often contain content that is considered inappropriate for younger audiences, such as strong violence, sexual content, nudity, drug use, and strong language.
* Parental Guidance: The rating system is designed to help parents make informed decisions about what movies their children can watch.
* Legal Consequences: In many places, it is illegal to take a child under 17 into an R-rated movie without a parent or legal guardian present.
If you are unsure about the rating of a movie, you can check online or at the movie theater.
