Sex & Nudity

  • One man rips off another's clothes (the character is only shown shirtless/from the chest up), then comments on how "very fair" his skin is while touching his chest. The scene is suggestive, but menacing rather than erotic. However, it is strongly implied, without anything actually being shown, that the character whose shirt is ripped off is raped.

Violence & Gore

  • A man is shot by a Turkish soldier. Blood is seen on his shoulder.
  • A man on a horse shoots another man and dies (non-graphic)
  • A father gives his child a gun to point at Lawrence and the Arab people.
  • A young character drowns in quicksand.
  • The Arabs raid a Turkish village.
  • Two scenes of the Arabs blowing up Turkish trains killing a lot of people (some blood is shown on corpses.)
  • A young character is injured, to avoid being tortured Lawrence shoots him in the head and dies (offscreen)
  • A man on a horse charges at the Turks. He and the horse are shot and killed and we briefly see the corpses of both covered in blood.

Profanity

  • Around 10 uses of 'Bloody' and 2 uses of 'God'
  • Some mild language like 'Damn' and 'Hell'. A couple of racist words are also used.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • There is drinking and smoking, but no drugs.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The deaths of young characters may be distressing, as well as the scene of implied torture/assault and its aftermath, but the film is comparatively subdued.
