Sex & Nudity
Violence & Gore
Profanity
1 to 10

MPAA Rating: PG

Kevin Bacon stars as a basketball talent scout who finds a potential superstar in a remote Kenya village.

SEX/NUDITY 1 - A male ball player touches a female ball player on the court, on the rear and on the chest.

VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Some on-court rough-housing. Bacon undergoes a ritual which leads him to almost fall off a sheer cliff; he gets scraped up a bit in the process. Part of the ritual involves being cut in the abdomen with a rather unsanitary-looking knife. This is shown just off-camera, but another character undergoes the same ritual and this cutting is shown on-screen, very briefly.
