In the dystopian ruins of North America, the tyrannical Capitol maintains control over twelve oppressed districts through the Hunger Games—a televised annual fight-to-the-death tournament featuring two teenage "tributes" from each region. When her younger sister is selected by lottery for the 74th Games, 16-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her place, alongside the district's male tribute, Peeta Mellark. Thrust into a high-stakes world of media manipulation, political intrigue, and deadly combat, Katniss must navigate treacherous alliances, artificial arena hazards, and her own complex feelings. Guided by her cynical mentor Haymitch and a team of Capitol stylists, she and Peeta capture the public's imagination by playing up a tragic "star-crossed lovers" narrative to secure life-saving sponsorships. Once inside the arena, Katniss uses her sharp hunting skills to survive, forming a poignant alliance with a young tribute named Rue whose tragic death sparks a wave of quiet rebellion. When a sudden rule change allows two victors from the same district, Katniss tracks down a wounded Peeta, nursing him back to health while heightening their romantic charade for the cameras. As they become the final survivors alongside a brutal rival, the Gamemakers cruelly revoke the rule change to force a dramatic, fatal showdown. Refusing to play by the Capitol's sadistic rules, Katniss and Peeta stage a shocking dual-suicide pact with poisonous berries, forcing the authorities to declare them joint victors to prevent a completely victorless finale. Returning home to District 12 as reluctant heroes, they face an uncertain future: Peeta is heartbroken to learn their romance was partially calculated, while Katniss remains deeply conflicted about her feelings and the dangerous target her defiance has placed squarely on their backs.
