Brief idea behind the book series explained in the very beginning: It's the future and for some reason the capital of the US grew too powerful and the states went to war with the capital. They lost, and were all broken up into 12 districts (and 1 capital still). So as punishment for rising up, every year there's a lottery and two names from the districts. 12 to 18 year-olds are picked from each district to compete in the annual 'hunger games'.
There's a big area of land where they go in and have to scramble for some weapons, survival gear, etc. and then fight or run and it will go until only one of the children is left alive by surviving the wilderness and killing all other contestents....all the while it's some how filmed so that the rest of the country and the capital can watch it back home on large screens to follow their own from their district hoping they'll be the one to survive and come back home. As incentive (besides living), the winner gets all kinds of stuff that helps their district and families. So many people WANT to compete in the annual hunger games and train heavily for it, because it's a bleak future otherwise. 'The capital' really wants to punish and lord it over the districts for having risen up in the first place.
It's a best selling series, I might even check out the books, seems pretty interesting and the trailers good.
