Now that Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) has been rescued, Gale (Liam Hemsworth) begins to use controversial strategies to convince the other districts to join the rebellion. Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence), President Coin (Julianne Moore), and District 13 prepare for war against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) as unrest begins to grow in Panem, and the revolution moves closer to the Capitol.
