Assuming you are on the same equipment, you can find out what kind of entertainment they have, but then you would need a paper copy of Hemispheres lying around to figure out movies are playing since the online version of Hemispheres doesn't have the movie schedule in

I've seen several posts in this thread that suggests the parents should bring an ipad or should just cover their eyes etc etc. I've flown thousand of segments over the years and watched hundreds of movies on flights and never once have I seen an extremely violent or sexually explicit scene on a plane. I've seen a few that were close to the line but they were always on the private AVOD screens and I could change the channel at any time.
I have no idea what the airlines side of the story is but showing Alex Cross on the drop down screens with poor or no censorship on a plane is using extremely poor judgement on the airlines side. UA may have had a real and legitimate reason for removing the passengers but to suggest the parents should have a contingency plan in a case like this is absurd.
