The Purge: Anarchy

It is March 21, 2023, hours before the annual Purge event. While television programs credit the
Purge for record low unemployment and poverty levels, people across the country are preparing
either to commit acts of violence or to barricade themselves indoors against the mayhem.
Meanwhile, an anti-Purge resistance group intermittently hacks into television programs to
broadcast their own messages that challenge the system. In Los Angeles, Eva Sanchez, a
waitress, rushes home to her daughter Cali and her terminally ill father Papa Rico. As they
prepare to lock down for the evening, Papa Rico slips out of the apartment and into a waiting
limo. He leaves behind a note explaining that he sold himself to a wealthy family as a Purge
offering in exchange for $100,000 which will be transferred to Eva's and Cali's bank accounts
following the Purge.
A couple named Shane and Liz are driving to the house of Shane's sister to wait out the Purge.
They stop at a market but when they return to their car, Shane is startled by a man with white
facepaint, whose gang silently taunts them. They quickly drive away, but their car dies just as the
Purge begins. They discover that their fuel line was cut, and that the gang had tampered with the
car. The aforementioned gang then shows up, forcing Shane and Liz to flee on foot. At the same
time, police sergeant Leo Barnes goes out into the streets heavily armed.
Eva and Cali hear a truck pull up in the street and watch as heavily armed and high-tech
paramilitary men fan out into the neighborhood. A drunken maintenance man, who felt slighted
by Eva in the past, bursts into their apartment intending to assault them both, but before he can,
the paramilitary men enter, kill him, and drag Eva and Cali into the street. Leo drives by and,
impressed by their attempts to fight back, rescues them, killing all of the guards and wounding
their leader, Big Daddy. When they return to Leo's car, they find Shane and Liz hiding in the
back seat. Leo tries to kick them out but must take them all when Big Daddy begins firing a
Gatling gun at them. However, a short time later Leo's car is disabled by the bullets. When Eva
promises that she can get him another car at the apartment of her co-worker, Tanya, Leo agrees to
take them there on foot in exchange for Tanya's car so he can complete his purge. During the
journey, the five survive intense fights against purgers, and they also notice many dead
paramilitary men killed by the anti-Purge resistance. The protagonists finally reach Tanya's
seemingly safe apartment with Tanya's family. Eva reveals that there is no car and Leo prepares
to leave. Before he can, Tanya's sister shoots Tanya for having an affair with her sister's husband.
The group flees. Big Daddy, who has been tracking them through traffic cameras, arrives with
more armed guards. Leo and the others manage to slip away only to be captured by the gang that
had been pursuing Liz and Shane.
The hired gang delivers them to a theater where upper-class Purgers bid on the right to kill them.
After being auctioned off, the five are sent to a purging chamber. The group is able to kill and
drive off the Purgers, but soon they are outnumbered by the security forces of the elite who kill

Shane. Suddenly, numerous and highly organized anti-Purge resistance fighters, led by Carmelo
and Dwayne, storm the compound and rescue them, revealing a significant armed revolt. Liz
chooses to stay with the resistance fighters to get revenge on people responsible for Shane's
death. Leo, Eva, and Cali take one of the cars in the theater parking lot and leave.
Leo finally drives to the house of Warren Grass, the man whom, he reveals, killed his son while
driving under the influence of alcohol twelve months ago. After confronting the man and his wife
in their bedroom, Leo leaves the house seemingly purged of his hate. Once outside the house,
Leo is shot and wounded by Big Daddy. Big Daddy reveals that the New Founding Fathers
believe that the Purge is not killing off enough of the lower class and have been secretly sending
out death squads to increase the body count. He informs Leo of the unwritten rule: do not save
people. As Big Daddy is about to kill Leo, Warrenwho Leo forgave and sparedsteps out of
his house, shoots and kills Big Daddy. As Eva, Cali, Warren, and the death squad have a standoff
over Leo, the alarm siren sounds to announce that it is 7:00 AM and that the Annual Purge is
finished. As a result the other death squad members leave the scene. Warren, Eva and Cali rush to
take Leo to the hospital as emergency services rush to clean up the Annual Purge.
