In 2014, the sequel to the successful thriller movie "The Purge" hit theaters: "The Purge: Anarchy." Like its predecessor, this movie takes place in a future version of the United States where, one night a year, all crimes are legal for twelve hours. However, the action in "The Purge: Anarchy" takes place outside of a single house, as was the case in the first film. Instead, we follow a group of people as they attempt to survive the Purge on the streets of Los Angeles.
"The Purge: Anarchy" introduces us to Sergeant (Frank Grillo), a man on a mission to seek revenge on the person who killed his son in a drunk driving accident. The Purge provides him with the perfect opportunity to do so, as he takes to the streets armed to the teeth with a variety of weapons. However, it's not long before he encounters Eva (Carmen Ejogo) and her daughter Cali (Zoe Soul), who are in desperate need of his help. When their apartment is raided by a group of heavily armed men, Sergeant comes to their rescue and offers to help them survive the night.
Along the way, the trio picks up a couple, Shane (Zach Gilford) and Liz (Kiele Sanchez), who are stranded on the streets after their car breaks down. Together, the group navigates through the chaos of the Purge, encountering various dangers and challenges. They cross paths with anti-Purge rebels and find themselves hunted by a group of wealthy elites who enjoy participating in the annual crime spree.
Throughout the film, we are shown different aspects of society during the Purge. From the wealthy elites who use it as an opportunity to engage in human hunting to the poor who are left defenseless and easy targets, "The Purge: Anarchy" paints a vivid picture of a society on the brink of collapse. We witness the brutal violence that takes place during the Purge and the toll it takes on those who are forced to participate in it.
As the night wears on, the group becomes separated and finds themselves alone and vulnerable. They must fight to stay alive and reunite with each other before the Purge comes to an end. Along the way, they discover the true purpose of the Purge and the sinister forces behind it.
