The Postman

Films like The Hunger Games (2012)

A selection of tense and high-energy action films centered on deadly survival games and ordinary people challenging the system. Most of the films in this collection feature class conflict between the heroes and the elite, a totalitarian regime, and a more young-adult style of storytelling. The list includes both the genre’s de facto originator, Battle Royale, and very similar films such as The Maze Runner, Divergent, Snowpiercer, and others.
