Universal has unleashed the theatrical trailer for the home invasion thriller The Purge [PURGE] on Apple. Ethan Hawke [EHAWK] and Lena Headey [LHEAD] star as the parents of a family bunkering down in their well-protected house in the one night of the year when any crimes can be commited without consequences. The Purge begins on May 31st.
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.
