Every year in the ruins of what was once North America, the 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.

Sixteen year old Katniss Everdeen (JENNIFER LAWRENCE - X-Men: First Class) volunteers in her younger sister's place to enter the games, and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy (WOODY HARRELSON) when she's pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for these Games their entire lives. 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.

This thrilling film based on the first novel in the extraordinary Suzanne Collins' series that took the world by storm also stars SAG Award® nominee JOSH HUTCHERSON (The Kids Are Alright), LIAM HEMSWORTH (The Last Song), ELIZABETH BANKS (What To Expect When You're Expecting), LENNY KRAVITZ (Precious) and WES BENTLEY (Gone), with Academy Award® nominee STANLEY TUCCI (The Lovely Bones) and Golden Globe Award® winner DONALD SUTHERLAND (The Mechanic).
