Get on the Bus
Movie • 1996 • Action
ReportSynopsis
Several Black men take a cross-country bus trip to attend the Million Man March in Washington, DC in 1995. On the bus are an eclectic set of characters including a laid-off aircraft worker, a man whose at-risk son is handcuffed to him, a black Republican, a former gangsta, a Hollywood actor, a cop who is of mixed racial background, and a white bus driver. All make the trek discussing issues surrounding the march, including manhood, religion, politics, and race.

Not on-screen, but men lightheartedly discuss their childhoods, several of which involve being hit by their parents for acting out.

Many uses throughout, all by Black characters. Some uses are said with the intent to offend or upset another character.

towards Black people, low-income families, gay/queer people, and etc.; a lot of it is politically founded and resolved or discussed as part of the overall narrative.

No hate speech or insults, but a Jewish man discusses past antisemitism that he, his family, or other Jewish people have experienced.

No, but a bus swerves and goes off the road early on to avoid an unseen deer. No damage is done but it may be triggering nonetheless.

no, but the majority of the movie takes place on a bus, and a few fights take place in the crowded aisle. later clips show packed crowds at a march.

a lot of discussions (mostly lighthearted) about cheating and whether it's normal or not. men in relationships flirt with other people and discuss having cheated in the past.
