''Film/ThePurge'' and its sequels all are built around the premise that, in a dystopian future, for one night, all crime is legal and emergency services shut down, for the most part allowing people to kill each other with impunity. On the second film, it is showcased that, [[RealityEnsues as would really happen if something like this existed]]), most people are completely reluctant and even ''afraid'' to go outside their homes and risk getting killed, which means that [[PresidentEvil the New Founding Fathers]] must field kill-teams to pretty up Purge figures for propaganda purposes and it is in reality just a method for the rich to go out and KillThePoor and maintain control. The third film has this trope going full-on when the New Founding Fathers decide that, in order to kill a presidential candidate that is running on an anti-Purge campaign, they must remove the up-until-then-enforced rule to ''not'' target government officials... which means that the anti-Purge rebellion is now capable to directly target said rich scumbags.
