During the tour, Katniss catches glimpses of the tensions and simmering revolution that she unwittingly sparked when she showed her defiance in the arena.įearing a full-on revolution, President Snow tries to keep the Districts under his thumb by shutting down the black markets and implementing public floggings and executions of anyone showing signs of resistance. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder from her experience in the arena, Katniss embarks on a "victory tour" with Peeta to all twelve Districts and the Capitol, accompanied by their eccentric handler Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks), former champion and mentor Haymith Abernathy (Woody Harrelson) and visionary costume designer Cinna (Lennie Kravitz). She's conflicted because she has feelings for Gale (Liam Hemsworth) but must publicly appear to be in love with Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), her fellow champion. Based on the hit novel by Suzanne Collins, the book (the first in a trilogy) told the story about Katniss Everdeen (Lawrence), who volunteers for the annual "Hunger Games" in which two tributes (one male, one female) from each of the 12 Districts have to fight to the death as part of the punishment for the uprising against the Capitol, which controls the Districts.Ĭontinuing where the first film left off, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire follows Katniss as she tries to cope with life post-games. 2012's The Hunger Games was a huge hit, propelling actress Jennifer Lawrence into an even higher stratosphere, if that were even possible.
