One year after the first Hunger Games movie debuted, another dystopian, blockbuster franchise emerged: "The Purge." The 2013 film that kicked everything off reimagines America with a dangerous, annual 12-hour period in which all crime — including murder — is legal. As a result, James Sandin (Ethan Hawke), Mary (Lena Headey), and their two children must fend off vicious intruders and survive the night without turning into the same monsters they're running from. The nightmarish societal phenomenon operates almost exactly like the deadly Hunger Games, just without the fancy ceremony and big public spectacle.
