The story takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic future in the nation of Panem,
which consists of a wealthy capitol surrounded by 12 impoverished
districts. As punishment for a past rebellion against the government,
the Capitol initiated the Hunger Games—a televised annual event in which
one boy and one girl from each of the 12 districts are selected in a
lottery as "tributes" and are required to fight to the death in an arena
until there is one remaining victor. When the protagonist Katniss Everdeen
(Lawrence) hears her younger sister's name called as the female tribute
for their district, she volunteers to take her place in order to save
her from having to participate. Joined by her district's male tribute Peeta Mellark (Hutcherson), Katniss travels to the Capitol to train for the Hunger Games under the guidance of former victor Haymitch Abernathy
(Harrelson), expressing resentment for both the Capitol and its
populace for forcing her and her fellow tributes to fight to the death
for their own amusement.
