The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2

After the rebels take District 2, Katniss heads to the booby-trapped Capitol with Boggs, Gale, Finnick and an unstable Peeta. Boggs dies, and Katniss decides to hunt Snow on her own. In the sewers, mutts kill Finnick. Outside Snow's mansion, parachutes explode over Capitol children and rebel medics, and Prim is killed. In custody, Snow tells Katniss the order came from Coin. Coin, now in charge of Panem, proposes one last Games with Capitol children. At Snow's execution, Katniss shoots Coin instead, and Snow dies at the hands of the crowd. Katniss is pardoned and returns to District 12. Peeta comes back too. Years later they have children, and she's still living with the nightmares.
