In an America wracked by crime and overcrowded prisons, the government has sanctioned an annual 12-hour period in which any and all criminal activity-including murder-becomes legal. The police can't be called. Hospitals suspend help. It's one night when the citizenry regulates itself without thought of punishment. On this night plagued by violence and an epidemic of crime, one family wrestles with the decision of who they will become when a stranger comes knocking. When an intruder breaks into James Sandin's (Ethan Hawke) gated community during the yearly lockdown, he begins a sequence of events that threatens to tear a family apart. Now, it is up to James, his wife, Mary (Lena Headey), and their kids to make it through the night without turning into the monsters from whom they hide. 这就是计划生育的必要性的宣传片。人类社会清除的是人类善良一面。人类吐槽计划。失败之作，吐槽点太多。这是一部讲述熊孩子的电影。大失所望。不是人家出牌老套，而是我们冷漠太久！。我们至今不知道那位惹麻烦的雷锋的名字。当人性最黑暗的时候。说真的，全家蠢成这样，被清洗也是活该。。 近未来的美国，全国失业率仅为1%，犯罪率则创下史上最低纪录，暴力几乎消失无踪。美利坚合众国仿佛进入宛如天堂的美好黄金时代，而促成这完美表象的则是前所未闻的大扫荡计划。国家为了有效释放公民心底的压抑和不满情绪，特别规定每年有一天的晚上7点之后举行长达十二小时的全国性大扫荡，届时人们将走上街头，展开完全不用承担法律责任的殴斗与杀戮。在这个畸形的时代，安保系统推销员詹姆斯·桑丁（伊森·霍克 Ethan Hawke 配音）大发其财，与妻子儿女过着养尊处优的幸福生活。 又是一年大扫荡之夜到来，桑丁一家端坐固若金汤的豪华府邸，在屏幕前观赏杀戮之夜的表演。谁知这一晚，詹姆斯的儿子查理出手拯救了一名被追杀的流浪汉，桑丁一家不可避免被卷入血腥的漩涡之中……
