Double bill of sci-fi action films based on the first two novels of
Suzanne Collins' trilogy. In 'The Hunger Games' (2012) Jennifer
Lawrence stars as 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen, a citizen of the
totalitarian post-apocalyptic country of Panem, formerly the United
States. Every year, the all-powerful ruling agency known as the
Capitol selects one boy and one girl from each of Panem's 12
impoverished rival districts to fight to the death on live national
television in a contest known as 'The Hunger Games', in which the
winner is given food to feed their entire district for a year. When
her younger sister Primrose (Willow Shields) is selected as a
contestant, Katniss steps up to take her place. Under the tutelage
of inebriated former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson),
Katniss goes into training for the fight of her life. In 'The
Hunger Games: Catching Fire' (2013), fresh from her triumph in the
74th Annual Hunger Games, Katniss, along with fellow winner Peeta
Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), returns home to District 12 for some
much-needed rest. But soon after, while on a 'Victory Tour' of the
other districts, she becomes aware of growing dissent to the
Capitol's rule, and realises that rebellion is in the air. As Panem
prepares itself for the third 'Quarter Quell' (75th Hunger Games),
autocratic ruler President Coriolanus Snow (Donald Sutherland),
still smarting from the Capitol's humiliation in the last games,
stacks the deck to ensure that the upcoming tournament will wipe
out any resistance from the districts once and for all.
