Certificate Research- 12A

This category applies to cinema only releases since 2002. Films under this category are considered to be unsuitable for young children. Cinemas are only permitted to supply tickets to see a 12A-rated film to children under the age of 12 years if they are accompanied by an adult, aged at least 18 years. However, it is unlikely to be suitable for children under the age of 12.
Films under this category can contain mature themes, discrimination, soft drugs, infrequent strong language and moderate violence, sex references and nudity. Sexual activity may be briefly and discreetly portrayed. Sexual violence may be implied or briefly indicated. Examples of films with this certificate are The Amazing Spider-Man 2, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Iron Man 3.
