What is the Hunger Games about?

The Hunger Games introduces us to Katniss Everdeen, a teenager from District 12 who volunteers for the Hunger Games in place of her younger sister. What begins as a battle for survival in the Hunger Games arena swiftly becomes a war against the oppressive Capitol, with Katniss at the forefront. 

Initially released in 2008, the dystopian novel's first film adaptation, starring Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss, followed four years later.
