One night per year, the government sanctions a 12-hour period in which citizens can commit any crime they wish -- including murder -- without fear of punishment or imprisonment. Leo, a sergeant who lost his son, plans a vigilante mission of revenge during the mayhem. However, instead of a death-dealing avenger, he becomes the unexpected protector of four innocent strangers who desperately need his help if they are to survive the night.

Detailed Bias Analysis

Analyzing...
Progressive

Primary

The film's central thesis is an explicit critique of systemic class oppression and state-sanctioned violence, portraying an authoritarian government that uses the Purge to eliminate the poor, thereby advocating for revolutionary resistance against such a system.

The movie features a diverse main cast, including prominent Black female characters, without explicitly recasting traditional roles. Its narrative strongly critiques a system established by a powerful, wealthy elite, highlighting themes of class disparity and systemic injustice that disproportionately affect marginalized communities.

Secondary

The film portrays Christianity primarily through the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) and their supporters, who use quasi-religious rhetoric to justify the annual Purge. This depiction highlights hypocrisy and cruelty, as the faith's tenets are twisted to sanction violence and oppression, with no significant counterbalancing positive portrayal.

The film "The Purge: Anarchy" does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative focuses on survival during the annual Purge and socio-economic commentary, without engaging with queer identity or related issues.

The film "The Purge: Anarchy" does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on survival during the annual Purge, without incorporating elements related to transgender identity or experiences.

The film features several female characters, including Eva, Cali, and Liz, who are primarily focused on survival. While female Purgers are present, no significant female character is depicted winning close-quarters physical combat against one or more male opponents using skill, strength, or melee weapons. Victories are typically achieved through firearms or as part of a group.

The Purge: Anarchy introduces an entirely new cast of main characters, none of whom were established in prior installments or source material. Therefore, no character's gender was changed from a previously established canon.

The Purge: Anarchy features an entirely new cast of characters not present in prior installments or source material. Therefore, no characters established as one race were portrayed as a different race.
