The First Purge
To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the others, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

Skeletor eliminates mercenaries before being killed in final battle
Isaiah is injured by Skeletor and seeks help from Nya
The film jumps from its lowest point during the slow character setup to its peak during the climactic mercenary battle.
The First Purge starts with heavy-handed political setup that critics found slow and poorly written, but builds momentum through its conspiracy revelation and action sequences. While divisive for its unsubtle social commentary, reviewers generally agreed it was more focused and entertaining than previous franchise entries, delivering competent thrills within an exploitation framework.
