MIDAS MAN is a UK biographical drama concerning English music entrepreneur Brian Epstein, who managed the Beatles from 1961 to 1967.

violence
A person is robbed at knifepoint in a scene in which the weapon is held to the victim's throat. There is brief sight of a vehicle burning during a riot, and of records being burned in a protest.
language
Infrequent strong language ('f**k') occurs, as well as milder terms ('son of a bitch', 'shit', 'bloody', 'bugger', 'hell', 'God', 'damn').
discrimination
There are references to racism, and which includes sight of US segregation signage reading 'Colored'. There are also references to homophobia, which include verbal mention of a character who was beaten up for being gay, and a scene in which a gay character's father likens homosexuality to a form of sickness. However, discrimination is both challenged and condemned.
drugs
There are scenes in which a character takes pills which are subsequently described as amphetamines. The character is hospitalised and receives medical advice to refrain from taking this 'dangerous cocktail' of drugs. It is subsequently reported that the person died from an 'accidental overdose'. Accordingly, drug misuse is not condoned by the work as a whole.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Two people briefly prepare to have sex behind a wall in a scene in which they begin to remove their belts below frame before they are interrupted. There are also scenes in which characters kiss passionately. Upsetting scenes include a funeral at which people grieve for the loss of a loved one. Adults smoke cigarettes in scenes which reflect the time period in which the film is set. There are also scenes in which people drink alcohol.
