‘Mockingjay Part 2’ Flies Home March 22

After the destruction of her home district, Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence), “the girl on fire,” has survived. Now symbolized as the Mockingjay, Katniss serves as the face of the rebellion against the Capitol. With the nation of Panem in a full scale war, Katniss confronts President Snow (Donald Sutherland) in the final showdown. Teamed with a group of her closest friends — including Gale (Liam Hemsworth), Finnick (Sam Claflin) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson) — Katniss goes off on a mission with the unit from District 13 as they risk their lives to liberate the citizens of Panem, and stage an assassination attempt on President Snow who has become increasingly obsessed with destroying her. The mortal traps, enemies, and moral choices that await Katniss will challenge her more than any arena she faced in The Hunger Games.  The Blu-ray combo set contain more than five hours of special features.
