It grossed more than USD 118 million worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing film of the series before being passed by the fourth film, The First Purge, in July 2018. It is the sequel to 2014’s The Purgent: Anarchy and is the third installment in the Purge franchise. In 2040, Roan is a U.S. Senator campaigning for the U. S. Presidency, promising executive action to end the annual purge nights. The New Founding Fathers of America view Roan as a threat; under the pretense of regaining public trust, they revoke immunity for government officials, including her, on Purge night. Roan decides to wait out the purge from her home rather than a secure location to secure the vote, and is accompanied by a team of security forces. The team is ambushed by a neo-Nazi paramilitary force led by Earl Danzinger to kill the security detail and invade the house.
They flee to an underground anti-purge hideout by Dante Bishop’s group, but are alerted by a large paramilitary group arriving in search of Bishop and Roan. As Roan pleads to Bishop’s partner, Angel, not to kill Owens, they are pulled from the van by the soldiers before anyone can help them. They return to the city and reunite with Joe, Marcos, and Laney, who had left the hideout earlier earlier to return to Joe’s store. They are forced to flee from the city but on their way, they find a fortified cathedral where Bishop’s team will kill anyone who tries to kill them. The group returns to the store, where Joe guards his store and is joined by Marcos, repelling an attack by the teen girls seeking revenge. Joe receives a call stating the cost of his purge insurance has been raised far beyond affordability, prompting him to guard his store himself. At the same time, the country’s so-called “Murder tourism’ booms the economy due to tourists visiting the US to participate in the annual Purge nights.
