In 2022 America, the government allows a 12-hour period called “The Purge,” during which all crimes are legal to reduce poverty and unemployment. James Sandin, a wealthy security-system salesman, prepares his family for the annual event by locking down their home. Trouble begins when their son allows a wounded stranger to enter the house, attracting masked killers who demand the man be handed over. As the family debates morality versus survival, their security system fails, forcing them to fight for their lives. The film transforms from a home-invasion thriller into a moral test, revealing how fear and privilege can turn ordinary people into monsters during sanctioned chaos.
