Movie 1: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)
The Hunger Games saga reaches its thrilling conclusion in this high-stakes final chapter, where the fight for freedom and survival comes to a head.
As Panem descends into full-scale war, Katniss Everdeen leads a team of rebels in a mission to assassinate President Snow and bring down the Capitol from
within. But as the battle rages and propaganda spins, Katniss must decide whether becoming the face of the revolution is worth the personal cost—and whether
those she trusts most are truly on her side.
With powerful performances, gripping action, and an emotionally charged finale, Mockingjay – Part 2 delivers a satisfying end to a globally beloved dystopian
series.
