‘The Purge: Election Year’ Senator Likes to Take Risks

By JonathanBarkan on June 28, 2016

On top of releasing a 30-second TV spot earlier today, a new clip from The Purge: Election Year has just made its way online. The clip shows Elizabeth Mitchell questioning Frank Grillo about his motives for applying to protect her. Also added is a second, more action-packed piece of footage that lights up the screen.

It’s been two years since Leo Barnes (Grillo) stopped himself from a regrettable act of revenge on Purge Night. Now serving as head of security for Senator Charlie Roan (Mitchell), his mission is to protect her in a run for president and survive the annual ritual that targets the poor and innocent. But when a betrayal forces them onto the streets of D.C. on the one night when no help is available, they must stay alive until dawn…or both be sacrificed for their sins against the state.
