The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is the third instalment of the massive Hunger Games film franchise, and the first of two parts adapted from the third book in Suzanne Collins’ series. The film is directed by Francis Lawrence, who also directed Catching Fire. Jennifer Lawrence leads the ensemble cast that also features Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Julianne Moore, Jeffrey Wright, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Natalie Dormer, and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.

The worldwide phenomenon of The Hunger Games continues to set the world on fire with The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1, which finds Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) in District 13 after she literally shatters the games forever. Under the leadership of President Coin (Julianne Moore) and the advice of her trusted friends, Katniss spreads her wings as she fights to save Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) and a nation moved by her courage.

After featuring the actual games in the first two films, Mockingjay brings the action out of the arena and into the world of Panem. As Francis Lawrence explains, “The stakes have always been high in The Hunger Games but now the entire world opens up. The Games themselves are gone, but threat of oppression now permeates all of Panem. This chapter gave us a chance to reveal entirely new locations with amazing action sequences. It’s a gigantic movie.”

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is rated PG.
