In a dystopian future, the totalitarian nation of Panem is divided into twelve districts, each forced to send one boy and one girl to participate in the brutal Hunger Games—a televised fight to the death. Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place in the games. As she navigates the deadly arena filled with traps and fierce competitors, Katniss must use her survival skills and instincts to stay alive. Amidst strategic alliances and harsh realities, she becomes a symbol of hope and rebellion, challenging the oppressive regime and igniting a spark of resistance in the oppressed districts.
