April 4, 2017. 1  LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Federal agents from several agencies raided the Bicycle Hotel & Casino in a Los Angeles suburb on Tuesday as part of an ongoing investigation, forcing its temporary closure, officials said.
On March 21, 2022, one hour before the annual Purge commences, James Sandin (Ethan Hawke) returns to his home in an affluent Los Angeles suburb to wait out the night with his wife Mary (Lena Headey) and their two children, 17-year-old daughter Zoey (Adelaide Kane) and 14-year-old son Charlie (Max Burkholder).
The Great purge began in 1932 with the passage of the grain quota and with the death of Sergei Kirov, which began a decade of suspicion and paranoia on the part of Stalin. Stalin's suspicions caused the deaths of millions based off of the accusation of treason and for the demand of grain from the peasants.
