The Purge Movies Streaming: How To Watch Them Ahead Of The Forever Purge

The Purge (2013)

In 2022 (dang, that’s close), salesman James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) is confident he, his wife, Mary (Game of Thrones cast member Lena Headey), and two children, Zoey (Adelaide Kane) and Charlie (Max Burkholder), will be safe from tonight’s federally instituted, 12-hour period of lawlessness with the home security system he has, unsurprisingly, made a fortune off of. However, soon after the chaos commences, Charlie allows a desperate stranger (Edwin Hodge, older brother of Aldis) into their home and the family becomes targeted by a group of malicious, yet cunningly polite, masked invaders.

Writer and director James DeMonaco unleashed his vision of a violence-obsessed country with this first installment that proved to be yet another big hit for Blumhouse. A politically-driven reinvention of the home invasion thriller subgenre, The Purge – streaming now on Peacock – was only a small glimpse of the anarchy the franchise had in store.
