This fifth film is a prequel to the rest of the films and marks the longest film in The Hunger Games franchise. It follows a young Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), the last hope for the once-proud Snow family, whose failing lineage has spelled a fall from grace in a postwar Capitol. Reluctantly accepting the assignment to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) for the 10th Annual Hunger Games, he finds the odds stacked against him. An opportunity to turn the tides with Lucy’s captivating charm forces him to battle his instincts for both good and evil. As Snow sets out on a race against time to survive, find out whether he will ultimately become a songbird…or a snake.

Recent social media reactions to the film have earned impressive reactions worldwide, predicting the film to have a grand opening weekend.
