To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community.

About The First Purge

In a desperate attempt to curb soaring crime rates, the New Founding Fathers of America initiate a radical experiment: a single night of unrestricted lawlessness within a contained community. This is the genesis of The Purge. However, the orchestrated violence by oppressors clashes with the fierce resistance of those targeted, igniting an uncontrollable fire that rapidly spreads beyond the experimental city's boundaries, threatening to engulf the entire nation in chaos and rebellion. This is where the nightmare begins.

How to stream with ExpressVPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is an app that encrypts your internet connection and masks your IP address, allowing you to stream securely and bypass restrictions.

Why Use a VPN for Streaming?

- Increase Privacy: A VPN protects your data on non-secure public Wi-Fi networks by creating an encrypted tunnel, safeguarding your personal information while you stream.
