After the overwhelming success of James DeMonaco‘s THE PURGE, sequels were pretty much inevitable. THE PURGE: ANARCHY did well enough to spawn a third outing. This July fans of the franchise will be treated to THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR, which finally goes into the previously eluded to political side of the once-a-year night where anything goes. Frank Grillo returns from the second installment, this time protecting a senator (Elizabeth Mitchell) who wants to end The Purge… which rubs certain people the wrong way. And what better way to take out this opposing view than on the night where you can literally get away with murder. Check out the first trailer for the 3rd movie below and tell us your thoughts in the comments.

Expanding the universe introduced in the hit franchise that electrified the culture and earned $200 million at the worldwide box office, Universal Pictures’ The Purge: Election Year reveals the next terrifying chapter that occurs over 12 hours of annual lawlessness sanctioned by the New Founders of America to keep this country great.

It’s been two years since Leo Barnes (Frank Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now serving as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Elizabeth Mitchell), his mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay alive until dawn…or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state.

THE PURGE: ELECTION YEAR opens on July 1, 2014
