“The Hunger Games” – “The Hunger Games” came on to Netflix on March 1, 2023. Many people were very excited about this as it has been a very well-loved movie since it originally came out in 2012. “The Hunger Games” was accessible to be rented on other platforms previously such as Redbox, Amazon Prime Video and Vudu, but you could only watch it one time before having to re-rent it if you wanted to see it again. “The Hunger Games” is about the Capitol of Panem that maintains 12 districts by forcing them each to select a boy and a girl to compete in a nationally televised event called the Hunger Games. Every citizen must watch as the youths fight to the death until only one remains. District 12’s Tribute is Katniss Everdeen, played by Jennifer Lawrence who the movie mostly focuses on.

While no one knows officially what happened to the plane, this film looks into lots of theories and possibilities of what could have happened.
