Jet (Piper's dog) makes it to the end of the movie, but the pitbull he used to play with is killed off screen. We don't see him dying, but the boy says that the enemy soldiers killed him.

A person appears to have obsessive-compulsive disorder (it isn't named in the film), and controls her food intake/refuses food in ways that may be triggering for people. Toward the end of the film, she says that "she used her willpower in stupid ways, like not eating chocolate".

About a quarter of the way into the film, there is a nuclear explosion. The characters feel the blast wave and see ash raining from the sky. The bombing is discussed on television. There is a strong sense of foreboding leading up to the event

Soldiers shoot through the wall of a barn, putting children in danger, and the children are led out at gunpoint. Men are shown with bullet holes in their heads. A boy is shot and injured, dying as his friends watch, with blood visible. Lots of misc. shooting. A girl uses a handgun to shoot people who are pursuing them.
