About the film

In a near-future America, the government introduces an annual event known as the Purge — a 12-hour period when all crime, including murder, is legal. Authorities claim that this brutal tradition has helped reduce crime and restore order across the country. For the Sandin family, Purge Night is supposed to be simple: lock the doors, activate the security system, and wait for the chaos outside to end. But their plans collapse when their son lets a frightened stranger into the house, turning their supposedly safe night into a deadly confrontation. Soon, an armed group surrounds the property and demands that the family hand over the man they are hiding. Trapped inside their own home, the Sandins must decide how far they are willing to go to survive — and whether they can hold on to their humanity when the law allows people to do anything.
