Here’s how you can watch and stream The First Purge via streaming services such as Netflix.
Is The First Purge available to watch via streaming?
Yes, The First Purge is available to watch via streaming on Netflix.
The film serves as a prequel, tracing the history of the yearly “Purge,” a 12-hour period that occurs once a year during which all crimes in the United States are legal, including murder, rape, and arson. The Purge began as an experiment limited to Staten Island, with the promise of financial reward to those who remained there for the entire duration. However, a new political party, the New Founding Fathers, is determined to achieve their goals by any means necessary.
The film stars Y’lan Noel, Lex Scott Davis, Joivan Wade, and Steve Harris.

The First Purge’s synopsis is as follows:
“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.”
