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).
Common Sense Note. Parents need to know that The Purge is a futuristic sci-fi/horror movie with a horrific idea: Once a year, American citizens are given a 12-hour period in which they can do whatever they want -- including murder -- legally. This supposedly has the effect of reducing crime and lowering unemployment.
