Gary Ross directs this sci-fi action film based on the best-selling
novel by Suzanne Collins. 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 in the match. Under the tutelage of inebriated
former champion Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), Katniss goes
into training for the fight of her life.

Gary Ross book, Who Watches the Watchmen?, argues that the tension
between maintaining national security secrets and the public's
right to know cannot be "solved," but can be better understood and
more intelligently managed.
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.
Who Watches the Watchmen? could hardly be more timely as we debate
the recent leaking of the largest trove of documents in American
history. The "WikiLeaks" case drives home the need for what this
book lays out: an approach to protecting classified information
that goes beyond law enforcement. Gary Ross' application of
Rational Choice Theory codifies, organizes, and extends what many
of us have been trying to do instinctively when dealing with
unauthorized disclosures. In Ross'discussions of "motivations" and
"justifications," I see powerful echoes of what I personally
experienced as Director of NSA and CIA. I only wish I had had
access to this fully developed intellectual framework and the
courses of action it suggests while still in government. - General
