In the remains of North America lies the country of Panem, where there are 12 districts that must choose one girl and one boy between the ages of 12 to 18 to compete in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death in an arena on live television as punishment for the 'Dark Days' when the 13 districts rebelled together against the country's government, the Capitol, which resulted in the destruction of District 13. When 16 year old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to takes her sister Prim's place in the Games, she will leave behind her family and her friend Gale Hawthorne, meet her fellow tribute Peeta Mellark, and be pitted against other tributes from fellow districts who have trained for this their whole life. Katniss must try her hardest to do the unthinkable—win the Hunger Games.
The Hunger Games hits theaters March 23rd, 2012!
