The Hunger Games” chronicles a dystopic Capitol which requires its twelve subjugated districts to pay tribute in the form of a teenage boy and girl, forced to participate in the annual “Hunger Games,” a fight-to-the-death live televised event. Katniss Everdeen’s little sister is chosen in the lottery to participate and 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.
The Hunger Games is directed by Gary Ross and stars Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson, Amandla Stenberg, Liam Hemsworth, Alexander Ludwig, Woody Harrelson, and Lenny Kravitz. It hits theaters March 23, 2012.
