 2013
 In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons| the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including
murder-becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this
night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime| one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder
breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown| he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now| it is
up to James| his wife| Mary (Lena Headey)| and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide.
Half social allegory, half home-invasion thriller, The Purge attempts to make an intelligent point, but ultimately devolves into numbing violence and tired clichés.
