Behind every tradition lies a revolution.  This August, witness the rise of America’s 12 hours of annual lawlessness.  Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge.

Director-Writer of "The Purge" Franchise Makes History With "Election Year"‏

With the release of Universal Pictures’ new, blood-soaked thriller “The Purge: Election Year,” James DeMonaco becomes the only writer and director in history to helm all three features of any given franchise.

The first two films, 2013’s “The Purge” and 2014’s “The Purge: Anarchy” earned a combined gross of over $200 million worldwide on a collective budget of $12 million and have been praised for their social commentary and for blending political ideology with horror storytelling.

In the first two “Purge” films, moviegoers were shocked by the deceptively simple premise brought to life by DeMonaco, who drew his inspiration from classic works such as Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" and Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game."

"The Purge: Election Year" Earns U.S. Critics' Approval‏

"The Purge: Election Year" is a scurrilously effective pop rabble-rouser - a movie that's been built to get you riled, and does,” praises Owen Gleiberman of Variety.

En route to its worldwide debut July 6, Universal Pictures' suspense thriller “The Purge: Election Year” has amassed a slew of positive reviews from influential critics, underlining the film's provocative themes and entertainment value.

“It's nice to see an action movie take more than a passing interest in where America is at the moment, and then exaggerating that moment into the realm of shrewd exploitation,” writes Michael Phillips of The Washington Post.

REEL DEAL: Will These Characters Survive The Purge In “ANARCHY” ?

In Universal Pictures' blood-curdling sequel “The Purge: Anarchy,” the New Founders of America (NFA), has sanctioned its annual 12-hour Purge to ensure that the crime rate stays below one percent for the rest of the year. With police and hospitals suspending help, it’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment or fear of retribution.

The new story follows an unlikely group of five citizens who, over the course of the night, find out just how far they will go to protect themselves and, ultimately, each other, as they fight to survive a night fraught with impossible decisions.

Portraying these characters are Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo, Zoe Soul, Zach Gilford and Kiele Sanchez.

REEL DEAL: Frank Grillo From “THE WINTER SOLDIER” To “THE PURGE: ANARCHY”

He made an indelible mark in Marvel’s “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” as villain Brock Rumlow. Now, actor Frank Grillo leads the cast of Universal Pictures' “The Purge: Anarchy,” the sequel to summer 2013’s sleeper hit that opened to No. 1 at the North American box-office.

“The Purge: Anarchy” follows an unlikely group of five citizens who, over the course of the night, find out just how far they will go to protect themselves and, ultimately, each other, as they fight to survive a night fraught with impossible decisions. The story begins with a haunted loner, Leo (Grillo), a sergeant who has suffered the loss of his son prior to tonight. Arming himself with enough guns and body armor to make it until dawn, he is a man possessed...and one clearly going out on a vigilante mission of vengeance against those responsible for his loss.

“The Purge: Anarchy” sees the return of writer/director James DeMonaco to craft the next terrifying chapter of dutiful U.S. citizens preparing for their country’s yearly 12 hours of anarchy. The cast is lead by Frank Grillo (“Captain America: The Winter Soldier”).

The new story follows an unlikely group of five citizens who, over the course of the night, find out just how far they will go to protect themselves and, ultimately, each other, as they fight to survive a night fraught with impossible decisions.

As the new allies question everything they've ever been told by their leaders, they will be hunted across the massive city in a kill-or-be-killed series of survival scenarios that blur the line between sponsored revenge and righteous justice.

REEL DEAL: All Crime Is Legal One NIght A Year In “THE PURGE: ANARCHY”

In 2013, the world responded to the provocative concept that on one night every year, any and all crime is made legal. Audiences turned “The Purge” into a surprise summer hit as the film debuted at No. 1 with an astonishing $34.1 million weekend at the domestic box office.

After witnessing the response to the film and listening to the conversations that it provoked, James Demonaco (writer/director of “The Purge”) quickly returned to the explosive universe that he created with an even more arresting idea for a sequel: placing the audience outside on the streets during the annual Purge.
