Katniss then eases her to bed as she sings her a lullaby. To make up for making Katniss lose the only deer she had seen all year, he throws a stone at the trees, making a whole flock of birds fly into the air, and Katniss shoots one of them. After this, a hovercraft appears noisily, and Katniss and Gale retrieve further into the woods. After that, they are seen sitting on a hill overlooking the woods, and Gale insists that he and Katniss could run away from District 1. Katniss isn't too fond of the idea, and the conversation ends in a somewhat hissing tone. She asks how much it costs, but the woman says she can keep it. Katniss goes home and finds Prim dressed for the reaping while her mother says she has laid out something for Katniss as well. Katniss then bathes and finds the clothes, reluctantly putting them on. After this, she gives the mockingjay pin to Prim, promising that nothing bad will happen to her as long as she has it. Katniss reassures her only a tiny prick will be needed and she will find Prim afterwards as soon as she can. As the citizens gather for the reaping, District 1. Effie Trinket, shows them a documentary about the Games. Effie then picks a piece of paper from the boys' bowl and chooses Peeta Mellark. She makes Prim promise that she will not take extra tesserae, and says that Gale will bring them game and she can sell cheese from her goat. Prim gives her the mockingjay pin Katniss first gave her, saying it will keep her safe. Katniss then tells their mother that if she dies, she must not shut down as she did at the passing of her father, that she is all Prim has and must take care of her. Her next visitor is Gale, who tells her to make a bow and arrows or find one once she is in the arena. Katniss makes him promise not to let Prim and Mrs. During the ride, they meet their mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, an alcoholic and the only living victor from District 1. Katniss has a recurring memory of Peeta giving her a half- burnt loaf of bread from the back of the bakery, at a time when her family was on the brink of starvation. Katniss is then seen in a small room where she meets her stylist, Cinna. He says his job is to help her make a good impression with potential sponsors. To impress the people of the Capitol during the Opening Ceremony, Cinna dresses Katniss and Peeta in black suits with capes made of fire. In the Training Center, the tributes practice, learn, and show- off their skills to daunt the others. During a private training session with the Gamemakers, Katniss misses her first target but then makes up for it with her second; although they ignored her. Out of frustration, Katniss sends an arrow at an apple near the Gamemakers which surprises them. Peeta states that he has secretly had a romantic interest in Katniss since childhood. Katniss responds with anger, but Haymitch comes up with the idea of having Katniss and Peeta act as a loving couple in the arena to get sympathy from the audience and gain sponsors. Haymitch also tells Katniss to resist the urge to run toward the weapons laid out for the tributes as soon as the Games begin, as it will only lead to bloodshed. He tells her instead to head to higher ground and search for water, as it will be her only friend during the Games. Peeta tells her that he hopes that the Games won't change who he is as an individual and that if he does die, he wants to die as himself. Katniss tells him that she can't think like that because she has her family to care for. They wait sixty seconds before setting off the platform or they will be blown up. When the Games begin, the majority of the tributes make a mad dash to the . Twelve of them are slaughtered by the other tributes within the first half- hour of the Games. Katniss stumbles after grabbing an backpack, and is set- upon by another tribute, who, in turn, is killed by a knife to the back thrown by District 2 tribute Clove. Katniss flees into the forest, and runs into Foxface, the District 5 tribute, who turns and runs away. Katniss loses track of Peeta, running deeper into the woods. As she stops to examine the backpack's contents, she hears the post- Cornucopia bloodbath cannons. After a tribute is killed, a loud cannon sounds to signal his or her death. On the first night, Katniss hides in a tree and witnesses the District 8 female being killed by a gang of tributes (known as the . Katniss runs through the forest, dodging deadly fire- balls. She is hit by burning shrapnel, injuring her right thigh. She blindly stumbles on after being rousted by another fire- ball, ending up at the river where she dives in to soothe her burn. The Careers see Katniss and chase her until she finds the sanctuary of a tall tree. After several unsuccessful attempts to kill her, Peeta suggests that they wait her out and kill her when she makes an attempt to escape. That night, Katniss is alerted to a bell- like chiming in the sky and sees a cylinder attached to a parachute coming towards her. She opens the cylinder and reads a message from Haymitch telling her to tend to her leg using a healing salve contained inside the cylinder. While the gang is still asleep, Katniss is alerted by Rue, the female tribute from District 1. Katniss cuts the nest from the tree and it lands on the group below, killing Glimmer, the District 1 female tribute. Katniss takes the bow and arrows from Glimmer's corpse, but having been stung, she hallucinates Peeta coming and telling her to run, as well as reliving the devastation of the loss of her father in a mine explosion when she was younger. She runs but blacks out. They become allies and decide to conduct a raid on the Cornucopia to destroy the Career group's food supply. After Katniss successfully destroys their supply, she finds Rue trapped in a net and frees her. Rue is then killed by Marvel, the District 1 tribute, who sprang the trap, and Katniss kills him in return. The televised death of Rue, in which Katniss covers her body with flowers and gives a salute to the camera, leads to an uprising in District 1. To quell the rioting, the Gamemaker, Seneca Crane, agrees with Haymitch's suggestion to allow the survival of two players from the same district, in the hope that it will give the masses something to root for. This change is done over the carefully- worded objections of President Snow. Katniss thus seeks out Peeta near the river, where Rue mentioned seeing him. Peeta declares his love for her and questions why she is risking her own survival to help him. She silences his protestations with a swift kiss on the cheek. Shortly thereafter a silver parachute arrives with broth for Peeta, and a note for Katniss: . As Peeta's fever worsens, it is announced that something each of the living tributes . Peeta argues, saying he doesn't want Katniss to risk her life for him, Katniss answers back that he would do the same for her. Before he can raise any further objection, Katniss kisses him and agrees to stay. However, she waits until he is asleep, burning up with fever, and then sneaks off to the feast. While recovering the medicine, she is nearly killed by Clove from District 2, but is saved by Thresh of District 1. Thresh hears Clove boasting about how the Careers killed Katniss's ally, Rue, and is enraged. He kills Clove by smashing her against the Cornucopia, snapping her neck. He then acknowledges the debt by saying to Katniss . Upon Peeta's recovery, he and Katniss go out scouting and discover the dead body of the girl from District 5, nicknamed Foxface, who ate . Katniss takes the remaining berries in hopes of tricking District 2's Cato into eating them. Katniss and Peeta are chased by at least a half- dozen mutts to the Cornucopia, where they encounter a bloodied and beaten Cato. After a brief but deadly fight, Cato holds Peeta by the neck, and Katniss notches an arrow at him. Cato confesses that he regrets the fact that his only skill in life is his ability to kill and realizes he's become of the Capitol; nevertheless, he will not give up in honor of District 2. Following Peeta's gesture, Katniss fires an arrow at Cato's hand and he releases Peeta who then pushes him off the Cornucopia, falling to the animals below. As they attack Cato, Katniss fires an arrow into his chest to end his suffering. When Katniss and Peeta climb down from the Cornucopia, Claudius Templesmith's voice over the loudspeaker declares that the rule change that allowed two players of the same district to survive has been revoked, and one of them must die. Unable to kill each other, Katniss comes up with a plan she hopes will force the Gamemaker to allow both of them to win. Knowing that failure to produce a definitive Victor would defeat the purpose of the Games, Katniss convinces Peeta to join her attempt at suicide by eating the nightlock berries together. Peeta is reluctant, but Katniss assures him: . In the room is a bowl filled with nightlock berries. Seneca realizes too late what is meant to happen to him, and the doors lock behind him, leaving him no way to escape. Haymitch tells Katniss that during her final interview with Caesar, she must profess her love for Peeta so that she is seen as a girl who acted out of love instead of someone who is beginning a rebellion. Afterwards, President Snow crowns Katniss and Peeta as the victors of the 7. Hunger Games. Katniss and Peeta return home as heroes, but despite the declaration of two Victors, a rebellion has begun throughout Panem. Snow watches Katniss and Peeta being cheered on in District 1. Visibly contemplating their fate, he turns his back and the film ends as he leaves the Game Control Center. Suzanne Collins initially adapted the novel for film herself, with rewrites by Billy Ray.
