Synopsis: To avoid future rebellions, the dystopian society of Panem obliged 2 teenagers from each of the 12 districts to take part in the annual tournament called "The Hunger Games". The competition follows one basic rule: Eliminate everyone until only one remains.

The Capitol and the 12 districts see what is happening in the games as it is in broadcast. This is to not only to entertain but to also scare the people.

Primrose, Katniss Everdeen's younger sister, of District 12 is chosen as one of the tributes but Katniss volunteers. Partnered with Peeta Mellark, they did everything to protect each other and to win in the game.

"The Hunger Games" film came from the book written by Suzanne Collins with the same title. Amanda Craig, a novelist and children's fiction critic, said of "The Hunger Games": "Appeals equally to boys as to girls ... the stunning action sequences and the cleverness of concept and execution give this a haunting philosophical complexity and make it my book of the year."

Jennifer Lawrence, who played the lead character, admitted that she found the role intimidating because "she was already in the minds of so many different people. I'm playing a character that most people have already seen in their mind. That's scary."

She said that she did free running for agility, archery, climbing, combat, and yoga" to be able to play Katniss. She added that an Olympian trained her for archery.

"The Hunger Games" earned $152,535,747 in the opening weekend - already going beyond the total budget of $130,000,000. It reached worldwide gross of $686,533,290.
