***DIGITAL COPY DOES NOT WORK IN USA*** Building on her performance as a take-no-prisoners teenager in Winter s Bone, Jennifer Lawrence portrays heroine Katniss Everdeen in Gary Ross s action-oriented adaptation of author-screenwriter Suzanne Collins s young adult bestseller. Set in a dystopian future in which the income gap is greater than ever, 24 underprivileged youth fight to the death every year in a televised spectacle designed to entertain the rich and give the poor enough hope to quell any further unrest--but not too much, warns Panem president Snow (Donald Sutherland), because that would be dangerous. Hailing from the same mining town, 16-year-olds Katniss and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson, The Kids Are All Right) represent District 12 with the help of escort Effie (an unrecognizable Elizabeth Banks) and mentor Haymitch (a scene-stealing Woody Harrelson).
