1. The Hunger Games (2012)

It all starts in the remains of North America. The nation of Panem, dominated from the Capitol, is divided into 12 districts. Nearly seventy years ago, the 12 districts revolted against the Capitol but failed miserably before the rich and the powerful. A punishment was chosen for their failed revolt.

Every year, from each of the 12 districts, two young people between the age of 12 to 18 years, a male and a female, are chosen as Tributes through public reaping to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games.

The chosen youths are brought to the Capitol, trained for the battle, and are sent into an arena to fight to the death until only one survives. The Hunger Games are described as a pageant of honour, courage and sacrifice.

The event is broadcast on television throughout the country, for the entertainment of the rich, powerful and decadent people of the Capitol. After her little sister Primrose is chosen for the 74th Hunger Games when they went to attend the ‘Reaping Day’, Katniss Everdeen of District 12 immediately volunteers to take her sister’s place.

And the male Tribute who is chosen for this survival game is Peeta Mellark. The young Tributes are escorted to the Capitol, trained and are prepared for The Hunger Games. Then after a few days of training, the tributes are sent to the fighting arena.
