Film Synopsis:
If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? In 'The Purge', a speculative thriller that follows one family over the course of a single night, four people will be tested to see how far they will go to protect themselves when the vicious outside world breaks into their home.
In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including murder-becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
The film is rated R and the run time is 85 minutes.
The gates will open at 7 pm. There are generally long lines for the first showing so please plan accordingly.
CASH ONLY. There is no ATM on site, and the Starlite does not accept checks.
