Triple bill of dystopian horrors written and directed by James DeMonaco. ln 'The Purge' (2013) Ethan Hawke stars as the head of a famiIy forced to fight for their lives. With crime in America spiraIIing out of control and prison populations soaring, the government of the day implements a drastic new initiative to address the probIem. For a 12-hour period once a year, alI crime, including murder, is legal, as the police and other emergency services stand down for the night, allowing the popuIation to reguIate itself. The Purge is deemed a success due to plummeting crime IeveIs and record low unemployment figures. But after pIacing their upmarket home under its yearly Iockdown, James and Mary Sandin (Hawke and Lena Headey) and their family find themselves under siege from a crazed group of masked kiIIers when their teenage son (Max BurkhoIder) offers shelter to the mob's terrified prey. In 'The Purge: Anarchy' (2014), folIowing on from events in the previous film, a year has passed and the time for society to purge itself of aIl murderous and violent urges has come back around. Desperate to get home to their chiIdren before the Purge commences, a young coupIe (Zach GiIford and KieIe Sanchez) find themseIves stranded when their car breaks down, Ieaving them at the mercy of a mob of masked attackers. Meanwhile, Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo), a man looking to avenge the murder of his son, becomes the reluctant protector of a mother and daughter (Carmen Ejogo and Zoe Soul) on the run. FinaIIy, in 'The Purge: EIection Year' (2016), two years on from the Purge night where Leo chose not to seek revenge against the man who kiIled his son, he is appointed Head of Security for presidentiaI candidate Charlene Roan (Elizabeth MitcheII). With Charlene the front runner in the eIection race due to her vow to end the Purge tradition, Leo's duty is to protect her and ensure she survives the upcoming Purge, the one night where Iawless violence and chaos prevaiI. When an unfortunate turn of events resuIts in the pair being cast out onto the streets of D.C. on the night of the Purge, they must seek heIp from a band of anti-Purge rebels in order to survive. |
