In a world where the oppressed districts are forced to participate in the gruesome Hunger Games, 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, a charming and cunning young man from a once-proud family, sees an opportunity to rise to the top of the Capitol’s hierarchy. As a novice mentor in the 10th Hunger Games, Snow is determined to prove himself by guiding his tribute, Lucy Gray Baird, a talented and resourceful singer from District 12, to victory. However, as their complex and twisted relationship unfolds, Snow’s ambition is put to the test, and he is forced to confront the dark secrets of the Capitol’s cruel intentions.

The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes is a gripping prequel to the original Hunger Games trilogy, exploring the origins of the sinister President Snow, and the brutal events that shaped him into the tyrannical leader he would eventually become. The film delves into themes of class, rebellion, and the cost of power, introducing new characters and expanding the richly detailed world of Panem.
