Sinopsis
Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the evil Capitol
of the nation of Panem forces each of its twelve districts to send a
teenage boy and girl to compete in the Hunger Games. A twisted
punishment for a past uprising and an ongoing government intimidation
tactic, The Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which
"Tributes" must fight with one another until one survivor remains.
Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these
Games their entire lives, Katniss is forced to rely upon her sharp
instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch
Abernathy. If she's ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must
make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against
humanity and life against love. "The Hunger Games" is directed by Gary
Ross, and produced by Nina Jacobson's Color Force in tandem with
producer Jon Kilik. Suzanne Collins' best-selling novel, the first in a
trilogy published by Scholastic that has over 16 million copies in print
in the United States alone, has developed a massive global following.
