Primary
The film addresses left-leaning concerns such as environmental destruction and corporate exploitation but champions an individualistic, non-systemic solution through the actions of its heroes, resulting in a neutral political stance.

The narrative presents traditional white male protagonists in a positive light and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center strong DEI themes.
