Purge, The: Election Year

The Purge: Election Year is the third chapter in the franchise. As the government prepares for its annual Purge, the one night a year when all crime is legal, America's New Founding Fathers are faced with strong opposition from a presidential hopeful and her supporters who wish to abolish the country's violent tradition. It has been two years since Leo Barnes (Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night— the 12 hours of lawlessness. This year, the annual ritual comes at the eve of a heated presidential election with the nation deeply divided between those who are pro- and anti-Purge. As head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Mitchell), Leo's mission is to protect her during her controversial and contested run for president. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of Washington, D.C. on the night when no help is available, they must stay alive or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state. (Gary Reber)
