The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes invites us back to the brutal world of Panem.
It tells the story of a teenage Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) before he becomes the president of Panem we saw Donald Sutherland portray in the original movies.

The first released film in the Hunger Games series introduces a brave Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) who volunteers to take her sister's place in the annual games.
Set in a dystopian world, two teenagers from each of the 12 districts must fight to the death in a nationally televised event, until one survivor is left.
Katniss has to leave her boyfriend (Liam Hemsworth) behind, but she's quickly taken in by her mentor (Woody Harrelson) and stylist (Lenny Kravitz).
She forms an unlikely bond with fellow fighter Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), but will they remain just friends?
