The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

"Every Revolution Begins With a Spark."

- Official tagline

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is the film adaptation of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins and the sequel to The Hunger Games film. It was released on November 22, 2013.

Development
Gary Ross, who directed The Hunger Games, opted not to return to direct The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. He cited the time needed to write and prep the movie given its tight production schedule as the deciding factor in a joint statement with on April 10, 2012. Instead, the film will be directed by Francis Lawrence, with screenplay by Michael Arndt, Simon Beaufoy, and Suzanne Collins. On May 24, 2012, it was announced that the film would be officially renamed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Plot
After surviving the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark return home to District 12. Katniss and Peeta are required to take victory tour of the country. President Coriolanus Snow visits Katniss in her new, lavish home and tells her she has inspired rebellions in the districts, when she and Peeta threatened suicide so both might survive the games. He orders Katniss to convince the entire country that her and Peeta's love was the reason for their actions, and to convince Snow himself, or he will ensure that she and her loved ones suffer. Katniss and Peeta have been cold towards one another since coming home except when there are cameras around, because her 'love' for him in the games was staged, while his is real. However, while heading out on the tour, Peeta admits he is grateful to Katniss for saving them in the Games, and suggests they should try being just friends.

The tour first visits District 11, home of Rue, the young girl Katniss tried to protect in the games and of Thresh, who spared Katniss's life when he could have killed her. Katniss and Peeta voice their personal thoughts regarding both the districts' fallen tributes. A man in the crowd whistles the tune Katniss and Rue used to signal each other, and makes the three-finger salute of District 12. Everyone follows the man's example until a Peacekeeper shoots him dead, leaving Katniss visibly upset. Their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, tells Katniss and Peeta the "show" of their relationship must continue for the rest of their lives, because as victors they no longer have private lives. Katniss proposes a public engagement between herself and Peeta, which is carried out and celebrated at Snow's home in the Capitol after they tour the other districts. However, during the party when Katniss catches President Snow's eye he glares at her and shakes his head, indicating she didn't meet his demands.

Later, Snow watches footage of a rebel uprising in District 8 (the rebels carry banners of Katniss' mockingjay) with Plutarch Heavensbee, the man replacing the late Seneca Crane as Gamemaker. Snow remarks that Katniss simply wanted to save herself and Peeta, but she is a beacon of hope to the rebels and must be quenched. Plutarch makes a counter-suggestion that Katniss should be used to show the Districts how the Victors become lackeys of the Capitol, while simultaneously cracking down on the districts to take away their hope. Snow muses this is risky, as fear does not always extinguish hope, but decides to test Plutarch's plan.

Returning home, Katniss warns her closest friend, Gale Hawthorne, of President Snow's threat to kill both their families, and asks him to run away with her and Peeta. Gale, who is in love with her, is angry about her engagement to Peeta, but he is distracted when she mentions having seen an uprising in District 8. Peacekeepers crack down in District 12, and Gale is publicly whipped after attacking new Head Peacekeeper Romulus Thread; Katniss, resigned that she cannot prevent the districts from rebelling even if she wanted to, decides she will stay with Gale and 'cause all kinds of trouble'. President Snow announces Panem's third Quarter Quell, a special version of the Hunger Games held every 25 years; for this Quell, all tributes are to be selected from the existing pool of victors- meaning Katniss will be back in the Games no matter what. Katniss immediately devotes herself to ensuring Peeta becomes the Quarter Quell's victor, should he compete in the games, because she sees him as a better person than herself or Haymitch. At the reaping, Katniss, the district's only living female tribute, and Haymitch are reaped by chaperone Effie Trinket. Peeta volunteers to take Haymitch's place to protect Katniss and is sent directly to the train with Katniss, without a chance to say goodbye to their loved ones.

When Katniss arrives in the Capitol, Haymitch tells her she needs to make allies during these games, because the other tributes know one another and will otherwise target her and Peeta. Katniss dislikes the Career Tributes (Cashmere and Gloss from District 1 and Brutus and Enobaria from District 2) as well as the tempermental Johanna Mason (District 7) and Capitol favorite Finnick Odair (District 4) but she befriends the District 3 tributes Wiress and Beetee, as well as Finnick's fellow tribute, a kindly old woman named Mags. Katniss herself is much sought after as an ally after the other tributes see her archery skills. However, she confesses to Peeta the night before the Games that she doesn't want to be allies with anyone except him.

During the final interview with Caesar Flickerman, Katniss becomes aware of how angry the Tributes are with the situation, as they are trying to convince the President to cancel the Games. Katniss is forced to wear her wedding dress by President Snow, but her stylist and friend Cinna designed it to burn away when she twirled, revealing a mockingjay dress underneath, symbolizing the rebellion; this infuriates the observing Snow. Peeta follows this up by lying that he and Katniss married secretly and are expecting a child, throwing the audience into uproar; finally, the tributes join hands in a show of unity among the districts, defying the Capitol. The interview is abruptly cut off, but the Games are still on. Effie bids Katniss and Peeta a surprisingly emotional farewell despite her Capitol background, saying they deserved better and that she is sorry. Katniss reminds Haymitch of his promise to help keep Peeta alive, and he gives her one last piece of advice: "When you're out in that arena, remember who the real enemy is."

Seconds before Katniss is to be launched into the Games, Peacekeepers enter the room and beat Cinna unconscious, which she is forced to watch in horror. She is lifted into a jungle arena, with the Cornucopia at the center of a massive saltwater lake. Moments after the games begin, Katniss allies with Finnick Odair and Mags because Finnick is wearing a bracelet given to him by Haymitch, indicating she should trust Finnick. The Careers immediately form their own alliance. After Finnick retrieves Peeta amd they pick up weapons (Peeta a machete, Katniss a bow and arrows and Finnick a trident), they head into the jungle. President Snow, watching the games with Plutarch, is already growing impatient; Plutarch reassures him he just wants the audience to see Katniss turn cold-blooded. Snow tells him he can proceed however he prefers, as long as the games finish with Katniss dead.

Peeta is shocked by a forcefield on the edge of the arena, which stops his heartbeat until Finnick is able to revive him. During the night, a poisonous fog appears suddenly. Mags bravely sacrifices herself, to Finnick's grief, so that the other three can outrun the fog, which abruptly halts after a certain distance. They rest in the forest, but are attacked by murderous mutt mandrils. Peeta is again saved when a woman from District 6, a camouflage expert and drug addict, sacrifices herself. They escape to the beach, and are met by Wiress, Beetee and Johanna at dawn. Wiress is in shock after they went through a section of the arena that rained blood. Wiress discovers that the arena is designed like a clock and every hour a specific attack occurs in its designated section while repeating saying the solution, "Tick tock". The six allies go to the Cornucopia to view the clock system more closely, but are suddenly attacked by the Careers. Wiress is killed by Gloss, but Katniss kills Gloss and Johanna kills Cashmere; Brutus and Enobaria escape.

After Wiress' death and the dangerous spinning Cornucopia, they regroup on the beach; Katniss and Finnick are accidentally drawn into a section of the clock inhabited by Jabberjays which scream identically to their loved ones, torturing them for an hour. Later, Peeta and Katniss discuss leaving the alliance; Katniss knows they will have to fight them once the Careers are dead and she doesn't want to kill Finnick or Beetee, but she must to keep Peeta alive. Peeta agrees they will leave the alliance after midnight, then mentions that whatever deals she made with Haymitch to keep him alive, Haymitch made promises to Peeta too. Peeta reasons that if Katniss died, he (Peeta) would have nothing to live for, and there are people at home who need her (her mother, sister, and Gale) whereas nobody needs him. Katniss counters that she does need him, and kisses him passionately, no longer acting.

Beetee suggests a plan to electrocute the two remaining tributes outside the alliance, Careers Brutus and Enobaria, using wire and a tree that is struck by lightning at noon and midnight daily connected to the saltwater pool and the damp beach. Katniss and Peeta are very reluctant to separate now, but she agrees to lay the wire with Johanna when Finnick and Beetee imply she intends to break the alliance, saying she will see Peeta at midnight. When the wire is unexpectedly cut after a distance, Johanna concusses Katniss, cutting the tracker out of her arm and telling her to stay down, as the Careers are stalking them. She leads Brutus and Enobaria away from the weakened Katniss.

Thinking Finnick and Johanna broke the alliance, Katniss tries to find Peeta back at the tree, but finds only Beetee, who was stunned after touching the wire to the forcefield. Unable to find Peeta, she calls out for him frantically; when Finnick appears she prepares to shoot him (to the delight of President Snow, who is of course watching her), but he stops her by repeating Haymitch's last advice: "Remember who the real enemy is". Changing her mind, Katniss attatches the remaining wire to an arrow. Finnick tries to warn Katniss not to do it, but it was too late. She shoots it at the force field just as the lightning strike occurs, blowing up the tree and shutting down the forcefield around the arena. This electrocutes Katniss, and causes a power outage in the control room, much to the dismay of the confused President Snow. During the destruction of the arena, she was paralyzed by the explosion, and the ceiling of the arena starts to crumble down. A hovercraft drops by and picks her up before Katniss passes out and lost consciousness.

She awakens in an aircraft with an unconscious Beetee beside her. Entering the cockpit, Katniss picks up a needle ready to attack, but unexpectedly she finds Haymitch, Finnick and Plutarch Heavensbee, revealed to be a rebel agent against Snow. Learning she is on her way to District 13 although Johanna and Peeta were taken away by the Capitol and accused her of being the symbol of the mockingjay, she attempts to attack Haymitch for not fulfilling his promise of returning Peeta home safely. Plutarch sedates her with the needle Katniss found and she awakens days later with Gale by her side, who informs that her family is safe but District 12 has been destroyed by the Capitol. Katniss, in shock, horror and sadness, begins to look mad in fury, planning to get revenge against the Capitol...

The story continues in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.

Quotes

 * Gale Hawthorne: (after kissing Katniss Everdeen) "I had to do that.  At least once."

 * Katniss Everdeen: "...President Snow. (sarcastically)  What an honor."
 * President Snow: "My dear, I think we can make this much simpler if you and I agree not to lie to each other.  What do you think?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Yes, I think that would save time."


 * Katniss Everdeen (speaking of the Capitol) "It must be a fragile system if it can be brought down by a few berries."
 * President Snow: (laughs) "It is- but not in the way you imagine it."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "How should I imagine it?"
 * President Snow: "You should imagine thousands upon thousands of your people dead.  This town of yours burned away, made radioactive wasteland, turned to ash, like District Thirteen.  You fought very hard in the Games, Miss Everdeen- but they were Games. (pause) Would you like to be in a real war?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "No."
 * President Snow: "Good.  Neither would I."


 * Katniss Everdeen: "Yes, I'll convince them."
 * President Snow: "No...Convince me.  Convince me (turns on the hologram of Gale kissing Katniss) for the sake of your loved ones."


 * Effie Trinket: "Katniss, Peeta, this is Plutarch Heavensbee, the new Head Gamemaker- successor to Seneca Crane!"
 * Peeta Mellark: "Well, that's a tough act to follow."
 * Effie Trinket: (sharply) "Peeta!"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: (laughs) "May I?" (indicating he'd like to dance with Katniss; Peeta acquiesces)  So, how do you like the party"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "It's all right."
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: (smiles knowingly) "It's appalling.  But, if you abandon your moral judgement, it can be fun."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "And are you having fun?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "I'm the Head Gamemaker.  Fun is my job."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "I thought that's what happened to Seneca Crane- too much fun."
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "Seneca decided... to stop breathing."
 * Katniss: (sarcastically) "Decided?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: (shrugs) "It was either that, or poison berries.  Being Head Gamemaker has never been the most secure position."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "So why are you here?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "Same as you: I volunteered."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Why?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: (shrugs) "Ambition... a chance to make the Games mean something."

 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "Her species, sir?"
 * President Snow: "The other victors!  Because of her, they all pose a threat.  Because of her, they all think they're... invincible.  Whatever Game you think you're playing... those out there are not playing it with you."
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "There's still a way we can win.  It's what we Gamemakers like to call a wrinkle."


 * Haymitch Abernathy: ( drunk, watching' Katniss enter his kitchen after they hear about the Quarter Quell) "Ahh, there she is!  Finally did the math, did you?  And you've come here to- what- ask me to- die?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: (grabbing' Haymitch's liquor bottle and taking a pull at it) I came to drink.
 * Haymitch Abernathy: "Oh- finally, something I can help you with.  (pause)What's it say about that fact that Peeta was here forty-five minutes ago, begging to help me protect you, and you only just now show up?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "It means we have to save him."
 * Haymitch Abernathy: "You know, you could live a thousand lifetimes and still not deserve that boy."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Come on, Haymitch.  Nobody decent ever wins the Games."
 * Haymitch: (bitterly) "Nobody ever wins the Games, period!  There are survivors... but there's no winners."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Peeta has to survive."


 * Finnick Odair: "Katniss!"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Hi, Finnick."
 * Finnick Odair: "Do you want a sugar cube?  They're supposed to be for the horses, but they've got their whole lives to eat sugar, whereas you and I... well, if we see something sweet, we have to grab it quick."

 * Finnick Odair: (grins) "Well, you look pretty terrifying in that getup.  What happened to all your pretty-girl dresses?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: (sharply) "I outgrew them."
 * Finnick Odair: "I'm sure you did. You know, it's too bad about this Quell thing... I mean, you could have made out like a bandit in the Capitol.  Jewels, money, anything you wanted."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Well, I don't like jewels, and I have more money than I need, so what do you do with yours?"
 * Finnick Odair: "Oh, I haven't dealt in anything as common as money in years."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Then how do people pay for the pleasure of your company?"
 * Finnick Odair: (steps very close to Katniss and smiles) "With secrets.  What about you, Girl on Fire?  Any secrets worth my time?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "I'm an open book.  Everybody seems to know my secrets before I do myself."
 * Finnick Odair: "Unfortunately, I think that's true. (notices Peeta approaching them) I'm sorry you had to cancel your wedding.  I can only imagine how devastating that must be for you. (pops the sugar cube in his mouth, grins at her and walks away, nodding to Peeta ) Peeta."
 * Peeta Mellark: "Finnick. (to Katniss) What'd he want?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "To know all my secrets."
 * Peeta Mellark: (smiles) "He'll have to get in line."


 * Haymitch Abernathy: (to the Peacekeepers at the elevator, mockingly) "As you were." (as he, Peeta and Katniss get in, Johanna Mason follows them in.)
 * Johanna Mason: "Well, you two look gorgeous.  My stylist is such an idiot; District Seven, lumber- a tree. (she pulls the ornaments free of her hair impatiently)  Sometimes I want to bury my axe in her face.  So, how does it feel, knowing that half the Capitol wants to sleep with you?"
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Um, I don't think-"
 * Johanna Mason: (turning around) "I wasn't talking to you. (to Peeta) Zip?"
 * Peeta Mellark: "Um, sure." (he unzips the back of her dress.  Johanna proceeds to strip the dress off, observing Peeta and Haymitch smugly; Haymitch grins back at her, while Peeta looks mildly surprised.  Katniss stares in another direction, clearly very uncomfortable.  When the elevator reaches Joahnna's floor, she winks at Haymitch'')
 * Johanna Mason: "Thanks.  Let's do it again sometime." (she leaves the elevator, still naked)
 * Haymitch Abernathy: "Thank you. (to Peeta and Katniss) Johanna Mason, District Seven."


 * Peeta Mellark: "Thank you, Haymitch.  For everything." (he and Haymitch hug, and Haymitch turns to Katniss)
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Any last advice?"
 * Haymitch Abernathy: (gives her a knowing smile) "Stay alive." (he turns to leave)
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Haymitch, wait!.. (she hugs him, whispering in his ear) Remember our deal.  You do whatever you can to save him.  Promise me."
 * Haymitch Abernathy: "OK. (pause) Katniss, when you're out there in that arena... remember who the real enemy is."


 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "They're holding hands now... but the minute the gun goes off, it's gonna be a bloodbath- and the whole idea of revolution will be discredited."
 * President Snow: "And the idea of her?! (indicates Katniss in her mockingjay dress) The idea of the Mockingjay?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "The more allies she betrays... the more friends she kills... the more people will see her for what she truly is."
 * President Snow: "As long as it ends with her picture in the sky, and the sound of cannon."
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "It will!"
 * President Snow: "It better." (gives Plutarch a threatening look)
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: (attempting to placate him) "Let's watch her get her hands dirty first."


 * Katniss Everdeen: "That dress was beautiful.  I think it's the best one you've ever made."
 * Cinna: "I thought you'd like it."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "I just thought I should tell you now, in case I-"
 * Cinna: "Stop. (attatches her mockingjay pin to her sleeve) Remember, I'm still betting on you, Girl on Fire." (he hugs her)


 * Finnick Odair: (laughs upon 'hearing the cannons signaling the deaths of some of the Tributes) "Well, I guess they aren't holding hands anymore."
 * Katniss Everdeen: (angrily) "You think that's funny?"
 * Finnick Odair: "Every time that cannon goes off, it's music to my ears.  I don't care about any of them."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Good to know." (draws an arrow from her quiver threateningly.  Finnick lifts his trident, pointing it at her with equal aggressiveness; Peeta and Mags watch them nervously)
 * Finnick Odair: "You wanna face the Career pack alone?  What would Haymitch say?."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Haymitch isn't here."


 * Finnick Odair: "We should make camp, and sleep in shifts.  I'll take the first watch."
 * Katniss Everdeen: (laughs) "Not a chance."
 * Finnick Odair: (stands up, picks up his trident) "Honey, that thing that I did back there for Peeta?  That was called saving his life.  If I wanted to kill either of you, I would have done it by now."


 * Katniss Everdeen: "Finnick, I'm sorry about Mags."
 * Finnick Odair: (visibly restraining his grief) "She was never gonna make it."


 * Johanna Mason: "Peeta's right, the whole country loves your little sister.  If they tortured her, forget the districts- there would be... riots in the damn Capitol. (gazes upwards) Hey, how does that sound, Snow?!  How about we set your backyard on fire?  You know, you can't put everyone in here! (looks back at Finnick, Katniss, Peeta and Beetee who are watching her in shock)  What?!  He can't hurt me.  There's no-one left that I love."


 * Peeta Mellark: "Katniss, I don't know what kind of deals you made with Haymitch, but you should know he made me promises too.  If you die... and I live... I'd have nothing,  no-one I cared about."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Peeta..."
 * Peeta Mellark: "It's different for you.  You've got people who need you." (opens his locket containing pictures of her mother, Prim and Gale)
 * Katniss Everdeen: "What about you?"
 * Peeta Mellark (smiles): "Nobody needs me."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "I do.  I need you." (kisses him)


 * Katniss Everdeen: (hears a cannon fire and thinks Peeta is dead) "Peeta!  Peeta!" (she crouches down, weakened by her injuries, and draws an arrow from her quiver)
 * Finnick Odair: (from a distance) "Katniss, where are you?!" (Finnick bursts into the clearing by the lightning tree; Katniss has an arrow aimed at his heart, thinking he has broken their alliance.  After a moment, he spots her and lifts his hands in a placating gesture)
 * President Snow: (watching pleasedly from the control room) "Let it fly, Miss Everdeen.  Let- it - fly."
 * Finnick Odair: "Katniss... Remember who the real enemy is!" (Katniss pauses, then lowers her bow)


 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "Katniss, you have been our mission from the beginning.  The plan was always to get you out; half the tributes were in on it.  This is the Revolution- and you are the Mockingjay.  And we're on our way to District Thirteen right now."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "District Thirteen?"
 * Plutarch Heavensbee: "Yes."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Where's Peeta?"
 * Haymitch Abernathy: (clearly avoiding the question) "He still has his tracker in.  Johanna cut yours out."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Where's Peeta?!"
 * Haymitch Abernathy: (clearly ashamed of himself) "In the Captiol... they got him.  Him and Johanna."


 * Gale Hawthorne: (smiles) "Hey, Catnip. (Katniss has woken up in a District Thirteen hospital) You've been asleep for a few days, but you're gonna be ok."
 * Katniss Everdeen: "Am I at home? (Gale looks away sadly, scaring Katniss) Gale, where's Prim-"
 * Gale Hawthorne: "She's alive.  So's your mother, I got them out in time."
 * Katniss Everdeen:  (confused)"Got them out?.."
 * Gale Hawthorne: "After the Games, they sent in hovercraft... and they started dropping firebombs..."
 * Katniss Everdeen:  (frightened)"They're not in Twelve?"
 * Gale Hawthorne: (unable to look at her) "There is no District Twelve.  It's all gone." (Katniss stares at the ceiling, first in horror, then grief, then anger)

Trivia

 * Facebook pages and a website (thecapitol.pn) have been set up by Lionsgate, with each District having its own page. A recently launched website, District13.pn, is blank to represent District 13's non-existence in Panem. The tab name reads:  "CAUTION: RADIATION HAZARD. NO TRESPASSING BEYOND THIS POINT." District 13 is still toxic as far as all of Panem is concerned.
 * The sites were confirmed as real by Lionsgate, along with all 13 District URL's which link directly to each Facebook page respectively and the Capitol and District 13's website according to thehob.org
