There is only one rule: kill or be killed. Set in a dark visionary version of the near future, a terrifying reality TV show takes place.

Twelve boys and twelve girls are forced to participate in a live event called The Hunger Games. When sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen steps forward to take her younger sister's place in the games, she sees it as a death sentence. But Katniss has been close to death before.

For her, survival is second nature. All four Hunger Games books have been turned into movies, with the first three starring Jennifer Lawrence, Liam Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Stanley Tucci, Elizabeth Banks, and Donald Sutherland. The fourth movie, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, was released in November 2023 and features an amazing cast, including Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Viola Davis, and Peter Dinklage.
