The Purge takes place in an idyllic America wherein crime, unemployment and all other social problems are nearly nonexistent due to an annual event when, for 12 hours, all social services (police, fire and hospitals) are suspended and ALL crime becomes legal. It is during this brief period when all Americans can let loose all their pent up anger and desires without fear of repercussions in order to spend the rest of the year contributing to the greater good. The movie follows one family, content to stay locked up and secure in their home while madness takes over the outside world, only to have a random stranger show up begging for help, and how the consequences of their decisions will have an impact on their lives and his.
The Purge opens in theatres June 7.
