ROCKETMAN is a British musical drama based on the life and career of singer, songwriter and musician Elton John.

language
There is infrequent use of very strong language ('c**t'), in addition to more frequent use of strong language ('f**k'). Milder terms include 'cock', 'bitch', 'prick', 'twat', 'arsehole', 'shit' and 'bastard'. There is also infrequent use of homophobic terms including 'fag', 'fairy' and 'poofter'; the work as a whole does not condone discriminatory language or behaviour.
sex
A large group of people are shown writhing and thrusting together during a stylised orgy sequence, without visible nudity. Another scene features a short sequence of below-frame oral sex.
drugs
People are shown snorting cocaine and using bongs. There are occasional references to drug and alcohol addiction.
additional issues
Infrequent moderate violence includes a sequence in which one man slaps another. In another scene a man is shown overdosing on prescription pills.
