The Unbreakable Boy
This Lionsgate faith-based drama (rated PG, not PG-13 as noted) tells the true story of a family raising a son with brittle bone disease and autism, and it earns its PG through heavy alcohol-abuse storylines, repeated bone-fracture scenes, and a medication-related meltdown involving physical violence toward family members. The heart of the film is genuinely warm and the faith themes are central, but the emotional and thematic weight runs more mature than a typical PG.
Best suited for tweens and teens (roughly 10 and up) who can sit with hard family topics and benefit from a real conversation afterward.
If you’d rather skip
Austin's brittle bone condition is introduced when he breaks his leg jumping off something; this sets up a recurring pattern of fracture incidents shown or implied across the whole film.
Austin is knocked backward by a swing and sustains a serious back injury; one of the more visually depicted fracture incidents.
An older student goads Austin in a classroom and a confrontation that escalates to a physical fight is stopped by school staff.
