Plot
To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

The Purge Movies

The Purge Collection unfolds in a dystopian America where all crime is legal for one night each year. Blending horror, action, and social commentary, it explores themes of survival, morality, and systemic control through intense, suspenseful storytelling and a chilling vision of sanctioned chaos.
