To demonstrate its power, the regime of the totalitarian state of Panem organizes every year "The Hunger Games". In them, 24 young people compete against each other in a battle in which there can only be one survivor. Young Katniss volunteers to participate in the games to save her sister. Next to her will participate Peeta, a young man whom she has known since childhood and who is in love with her. However, the Capitol wants to turn them into opponents.
