Set 24 years before “The Hunger Games,” The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping follows sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy (Joseph Zada) of District 12 from the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, the Second Quarter Quell, with twice as many tributes as ever before. In the arena, Haymitch forms an unlikely alliance with Maysilee Donner (Mckenna Grace).

He risks everything to challenge the Capitol’s control under President Snow (Ralph Fiennes), setting in motion the rebellion that will change Panem forever.
The film also stars Jesse Plemons, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Elle Fanning, Maya Hawke, Whitney Peak and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
