In the second Hunger Games movie, Catching Fire is visually accurate to the Hunger Games series. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson return as Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark, the co-winners in the 74th Hunger Games, and find themselves celebrities in all of the districts. They tour all of the poor, distressed districts. President Snow (played by Donald Sutherland) begins to have both Katniss and Peeta destroy any ideas of the rebellion.
As news of a third Quarter Quell begins, two tributes from each district are selected to perform in the 75th Hunger Games. Unlike in past years, all the tributes are returning victors from past Hunger Games.
The 75th Hunger Games is on a new type of terrain: a tropical island. With allies across the board, these Hunger Games do not show as much death and gore as the past movie. Catching Fire focuses more on the tactics, and the survival of the “star-crossed lovers.”
Both new and old characters come into the story lines. The movie has a cast full of a variety of characters. Some old favorites return like Liam Hemsworth as Gale, Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, and Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy. Some of the new characters include Sam Claflin as Finnick Odair, Jena Malone as Johanna Mason, and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee.
