Dystopian Future: Yes Reality TV Aspects: Yes Battle Arena: No Captive Fighters: No Children As Fighters: No The Hunger Gamers are essentially played up as a massive show for the richer denizens of Panem to enjoy and there are certain elements of the classic game show format on display before each game, particularly in regards to the extravagant hosts and questioning of the contestants on live television before the games begin. Le Prix Du Danger takes this particular concept and runs with it. Contestants volunteer to take part in the game - where they will be hunted by five other people from various walks of life - with the bulk of the fighting taking place on the streets instead of a specially created arena. If they survive they win an enormous prize, but nobody has ever managed to claim said prize. It is the "death as a show" aspect of the film that makes it similar to The Hunger Games, especially in regards to how utterly gaudy and over the top the show around the main attraction is presented. The film examines the extents to which a person is able to confront violence, which is something that Katniss in particular struggles with when she participates in The Hunger Games.
