THE HUNGER GAMES
$16 Public | $10 Members
In what was once North America, the Capitol of Panem maintains its hold on its 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl, called Tributes, to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12 Tribute Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) has little to rely on, other than her hunting skills and sharp instincts, in an arena where she must weigh survival against love. Based on Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel of the same name, this gripping dystopian action film would be followed by 4 sequels, grossing over 3.3 billion in the box office, making it one of the most popular film franchises of all time.
