But for the 24th Purge, her political enemies decide to change the rules: no one will be protected, not even politicians or elites. With help from her bodyguard Leo Barnes and a group of people also against The Purge, Roan tries to survive another night that will affect the future of the country...

Originally, The Purge was a fun B movie starring Ethan Hawke and Lena Headey, built around an excellent idea worthy of a Twilight Zone episode. Three years later, it has became a bad franchise run by a studio trying for a simplistic cash cow in the vein of Paranormal Activity. The Purge: Election Night, again directed by James DeMonaco, is a series of horror sketches with no surprises, weighed down by uninteresting characters and unconvincing actors (mainly Frank Grillo and Elizabeth Mitchell). It tries to offer a clear political discourse and a systematic attack on the American culture of violence, but the result is as grotesque and cheap as the maniacs who disguise themselves with American symbols to kill.
