The purge is a lawless night, in which all kinds of crimes are allowed. And the fact is, the government has decided that one night a year, for twelve hours, any criminal activity, including murder, will be legal. Crime rages in the United States and the jails are full. The police cannot be called, hospitals do not admit patients, citizens must fend for themselves because committing a crime is not punished.
This science fiction horror film is the fifth and final installment in the successful series created by James DeMonaco produced by the Blumhouse studio.
