Having survived in the deadly arena of the Hunger Games, Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) not only has got enough gumption to win the victory, but also makes the authorities to recognize the double win of her and her fellow Peeta (Josh Hutcherson). Having returned home safe after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games, the champions are soon to embark on a “Victor’s Tour” in the twelve districts of Panem, which are under control of ruthless Capitol’s President Snow (Donald Sutherland).
However, although officially recognized, victory with hindsight does not satisfy every one, far from it. Contrary to President’s Snow expectations, the victory of Katniss and Peeta doesn’t strengthen his power in the spheres of influence. Panem is transfixed with horror, but an uprising is in the air. Katniss soon becomes a symbol of simmering rebellion and hope for a better future. Feeling alarmed, Capitol’s President decides that the best way to bring everything back to track is to force Peeta and Katniss, now in love, into the Arena once again and to get rid of both of them in case of success. The President announces the special Hunger Games (the Quarter Quell) for the winners of the last 25 games who are supposed to be much stronger than the last year’s teen champions.
Forced into the Arena, Katniss must once again demonstrate her artfulness and win to save herself and the ones she loves. Unfortunately, the Fortune seems to turn against her… Will the strong-willed girl accept her fate with resignation, or will she struggle against the system to the last breath? Find all the answers in the dynamic movie full of unexpected plot twists, passions, adventures and dangers.
