The First Purge
Witness the birth of an American tradition.
I don’t think this flag is going to save us ...
|
We go back in time to see how the Purge idea got started. Set some time in the future, America’s third political party, the New Founding Fathers of America, comes to power and conducts an experiment: no laws for 12 hours on Staten Island. No one has to stay on the island, but they give everyone brave or foolish enough to stay, $5,000. And more if they take part in the purge. This extremely violent film has been banned in some countries.

| Language | Frequent, very strong impact use of crude language used in casual chat with sexual innuendo. |
| Nudity | Low impact, infrequent, e.g. a man's buttocks are shown in sexual context |
| Sex | None (sic) |
| Violence | Frequent, very strong impact, realistic violence is thematic. e.g. People are shot at with blood-letting; explosions of planted bombs; there are beating, fist fights, kicking and stabbings with sharp objects; people being chased by assailants threatening to cause them harm as part of the Purge. |
| Prejudice | Mild impact, language of prejudice is fairly frequent and thematic of the deliberate move for social cleansing targetting the low income social class; depiction of mercenaries clad in 'Ku Klux Klan' robes and hoodies attacking the predominantly black community and language of prejudice. |

| Drug abuse | None (sic) |
