The premise

Two years after choosing not to kill the man who killed his son, former police sergeant Leo Barnes has become head of security for Senator Charlene Roan, the front runner in the next Presidential election due to her vow to eliminate the Purge. On the night of what should be the final Purge, a betrayal from within the government forces Barnes and Roan out onto the street where they must fight to survive the night.

Horror Vault's take

In a near-future America where one night of lawless violence is government-sanctioned, a senator campaigning to abolish the Purge finds herself stripped of her protection and thrown into the chaos she has vowed to end. Her head of security — a seasoned, morally tested former cop — must keep her alive through a city turned hunting ground. The third installment in the franchise raises the political stakes considerably, weaving electoral ambition and systemic corruption into its blood-soaked survival thriller. Alliances form in unexpected places as the night wears on and the true architects of the carnage begin to reveal themselves.
