Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is releasing The Purge, available to own on Blu-ray™, DVD and UltraViolet™ from October 24, 2013.

If on one night every year, you could commit any crime without facing consequences, what would you do? With a star-studded cast including Academy Award® nominee Ethan Hawke (Before Midnight, Training Day), Lena Headey (Game of Thrones, 300) and Rhys Wakefield (The Black Balloon, Sanctum), The Purge is a speculative thriller that will take you on a rollercoaster ride from start to finish.

Set in a future America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity is legal. The police can’t be called and hospitals suspend help. It’s one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking.
