For sci-fi fans: The Hunger Games prehistory finally on Blu-ray and 4K with a special addition
In the sci-fi film we are in the time of 10. Hunger Games. The war in the dystopian land of Panem was not long ago. The losing districts each have to sacrifice two children to compete against each other in a stadium as compensation to the Capitol. But nobody is interested in these bloody games.
For more attractiveness and higher ratings should provide students who will be assigned to the tributes as mentors. Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth) isn’t at all happy when he gets the girl from the poor District 12. But little by little he recognizes the potential of the singing Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler).
