PLOT

                                                              PURGE is a national civic tradition started by the “The New Founding Fathers of America”, to reduce the unemployment, crimes and stabilize the economy. It had been said that the Purge had succefully served its purpose from the year 2017.During the time of purge every crime has been legalized and all the security, police and medical teams will be suspended from the duty.

                                                                                               The time of annual purge has arrived where James Sandin, the top security system seller in the country is arriving to the home to make his family to prepare for the annual purge, while the time his daughter is making love with his boyfriend in her room. Mary is busy with making dinner for her family, and Charlie, the younger son is making a new mniature survillence vehicle. Zoey asked her boyfriend to go to his home before the purge.   When the alarm goes off to show the annual commencement of purge, james closed the steel barriors of his home and went to his room. Charlie finds a helpless man in the street crying for help in the street, so he disable the security system to make him enter into the home. The small boy doesn’t know that this sympathic act of him is going to be a serious trouble for their family, because soon a masked gang appeared outside of their home and make them clear that they need the guy whom Sandin gives shelter otherwise they are going to unleash the beast in them which signify that they will break the steel barrior and enter into their home to kill the entire family with the stranger. James was in a situation to either give him back to the gang to save his family or to fight against them.

                                                                                         PURGE is an American dystopian movie which follow the same format of other movies in this category. But it is not appealing as its theme, the director failed to have a good script even though the theme of legalized crime for 12 hours. It’s been  included in the horror genre but still it lacks all those elements in it. Hope that the remaining sequels in the movie are good.
