'''''Catching Fire''''' (advertised as ''The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'') is the second film in the ''[[Film/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]]'' series.

Months after the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen (Creator/JenniferLawrence) is brought before President Snow (Creator/DonaldSutherland), who informs her that her act of defiance in the games has inspired the districts to rebel. She is then ordered to help pacify the districts, but when she fails, Snow makes preparations for the Third Quarter Quell (a special edition of the Hunger Games held every 25 years)...

!!This film provides examples of:
* ColonelKilgore: Commander Romulus Thread
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: It ''is'' a Hunger Game, after all, but the Third Quarter Quell really amps it up.
* YouAreTheNewTrend: Snow's granddaughter wears her hair like Katniss, as all the kids in school are doing it.
