A new poster released for The Purge, opening June 7th, is reminding you that if you intend to participate in “the purge,” there will be no emergency services in the event that you are stabbed, shot…or harmed in any way.
In an America wracked by crime, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity – including murder – is legal. The police can’t be called. Hospitals suspend help. It is one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
The film stars Ethan Hawke and Lean Headey.
