Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers to take her younger sister's place in the games. Joined by her district's male tribute Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), Katniss travels to the Capitol to train for the Hunger Games under the guidance of former victor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson).
