Una nación renacida.
Para mantener durante el resto del año la tasa de criminalidad por debajo del 1%, los Nuevos Padres Fundadores de América ponen a prueba una teoría sociológica que da rienda suelta a todo tipo de agresiones durante una noche en una comunidad aislada. Pero cuando la violencia de los opresores se encuentra con la ira de los marginados, el vandalismo explota más allá de esas fronteras “experimentales” para extenderse por todo el país. Detrás de cada tradición hay una revolución. Descubre cómo toda una nación entera abrazó una brutal celebración anual: 12 horas de impunidad criminal. Bienvenidos a un movimiento que comenzó como un simple experimento.
"The First Purge," released in 2018 and produced by Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse Productions, serves as a gripping prequel to the dystopian Purge franchise. Set in a dystopian United States, the film delves into the origins of the annual Purge, a government-sanctioned event allowing all crime, including murder, to be legal for 12 hours. The narrative unfolds on Staten Island, where the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) conduct an experimental Purge to test its effects on society. As the night progresses, the experiment spirals out of control, revealing the sinister motives behind the Purge and the lengths to which the government will go to manipulate its citizens. Director Gerard McMurray crafts a tense and thought-provoking film that explores themes of social inequality, racial tension, and political manipulation. The story follows a diverse group of characters, including drug dealer Dmitri Cimber, played by Y'lan Noel, and community activist Nya, portrayed by Lex Scott Davis. Their struggles to survive the night highlight the stark divisions within society and the brutal reality of the Purge. The film's gritty cinematography and intense action sequences create a palpable sense of dread, immersing viewers in the chaos and fear that define the Purge. One of the standout aspects of "The First Purge" is its unflinching examination of the societal issues that fuel the Purge. The film does not shy away from depicting the violence and brutality that ensue, but it also offers a critique of the systemic problems that lead to such a drastic measure. The NFFA's manipulation of crime statistics and their targeting of marginalized communities underscore the film's commentary on real-world issues such as racial profiling and economic disparity. This social commentary elevates "The First Purge" beyond a mere action thriller, making it a relevant and impactful addition to the franchise. In conclusion, "The First Purge" is a compelling and intense film that successfully sets the stage for the Purge series. With its strong performances, gripping narrative, and bold social commentary, the movie offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the Purge while maintaining the franchise's signature blend of horror and social critique.
