The Purge: Anarchy is a 2014 American social science fiction action horror film directed and written by James DeMonaco. It is the sequel to the 2013 film The Purge and stars Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo, Zach Gilford, Kiele Sanchez, Zoë Soul, and Michael K. Williams, while Edwin Hodge reprises his role of "The Stranger" from the first movie. It was released worldwide on July 18, 2014.
The film was met with generally mixed reviews, with most critics agreeing the film was an improvement over the original, and grossed over $110 million. The movie is notable for its dramatic change over the original: while the first film was set entirely in one house, this film is set all over the Los Angeles wide area to give the notion of what usually happens during the Purge.Synopsis
In the 2010s following an economic collapse, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) have taken over, instituted totalitarian rule, and reinstated themselves as the new government. Using the 28th amendment to the United States Constitution, they established one night a year—сalled "the Purge"—in which all crime is legal and all police, fire, and medical emergency services are shut down for 12 hours, from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.
