Jennifer Lawrence stars in the spectacular second instalment of the dystopian fantasy, directed by Francis Lawrence and based on Suzanne Collins' literary trilogy for young adults.
Teenager Katniss Everdeen's victory in the annual televised Hunger Games' gladiatorial-style fight to the death has made her a national heroine. But President Snow is furious that she broke the rules to ensure that her friend Peeta also survived, and is alarmed that her actions have sparked rebellion in some quarters of the cruelly oppressed land of Panem.
Snow therefore blackmails Katniss to embark on a tour of the outlying states to proselytise for his rule. But this, initially to Katniss's horror, only foments further revolution, and results in her once again being sentenced to lethal combat in the 75th edition of the Games. Only this time she'll be up against winners from the previous 25 years.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a Film programme that first aired in 2013 and has been classified a 12 certificate.
