The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

The movie centers on the life of Panem's President, Coriolanus Snow, long before he rises to power and encounters Katniss Everdeen in the previous Hunger Games films.

In his youth, Snow (Tom Blyth) is the sole remaining heir of a once-prominent family that ruled the Capitol. Their downfall begins with the destruction of their munitions factory in District 13 and the death of Snow's father in battle, leaving their family estate at risk of being lost.

Determined to reclaim his family's lost honor, Snow sees an opportunity to regain their ancestral home. He becomes a mentor to the tributes in the forthcoming Hunger Game, specifically assigned to guide Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a young girl from the impoverished District 12.

Lucy's enchanting presence and exceptional singing talent quickly captivate the audience of Panem. Snow, recognizing her potential, goes to extraordinary lengths to ensure Lucy becomes the sole survivor of the Hunger Games. He believes that her victory will bring in enough funds to restore his family's estate. The film picks up into the various strategies he does to achieve this goal.
