Synopsis

Scout Finch, 6, and her older brother Jem live in sleepy Maycomb, Alabama, spending much of their time with their friend Dill and spying on their reclusive and mysterious neighbor, Boo Radley. When Atticus, their widowed father and a respected lawyer, defends a black man named Tom Robinson against fabricated rape charges, the trial and tangent events expose the children to evils of racism and stereotyping.

A central event is a rape trial, the accused Tom is innocent, though.

Bob Ewell is killed, but it's honestly quite cathartic.

A few more mentions of Jem and Scout's dead mother than in the book, especially near the start, and you can tell they and Atticus miss her.

Some argue Boo Radley, an abused and shunned man, might have autistic or disabled traits.

The main story is about racism, so there are such statements and words.

Racial slurs are used in-context for the sake of the narrative, as in the book. The movie takes a very positive view on Black equality.
