THEY SAY
The film is based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling futuristic young
adult novel.
A dystopic Capitol requires its twelve subjugated districts to pay
tribute in the form of a teenage boy and girl who are forced to
participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.
When Katniss Everdeen's little sister is chosen in the lottery, Katniss
volunteers to take her place. Although persevering through hardship is
commonplace for Katniss, she must start making choices that weigh survival
against humanity and life against love in order to win the games and
return home.
