Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) recovers after being attacked by a brainwashed Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson). After rebel forces neutralize the Capitol's weapons supply in District 2, loyalists of the Capitol surrender. Katniss attempts to dissuade them from fighting for the Capitol, but is shot and injured in the confusion.
After recovering, Katniss approaches President Alma Coin (Julianne Moore) and volunteers to kill President Snow (Donald Sutherland) but Coin declines. During the wedding of Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin) and Annie Cresta (Stef Dawson), Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) tells Katniss an aircraft is leaving for the Capitol. Katniss sneaks aboard, and is subsequently assigned to Squad 451, led by Boggs (Mahershala Ali) with Lt. Jackson (Michelle Forbes) second in command, but learns they are to be held back from the front lines and used only for propaganda. They use a holographic map (the "Holo") to evade booby trapped "pods" created by Gamemakers which line the streets of the Capitol. Peeta is assigned to the team by Coin despite not having fully recovered from the Capitol's conditioning, and Boggs warns Katniss to be careful.
As they venture deeper into the Capitol, Boggs is mortally wounded by a hidden pod, but manages to transfer use of the Holo to Katniss before dying. The group triggers another pod, which releases a wave of black tar. Peeta momentarily succumbs to his conditioning and attacks Katniss, pushing Mitchell (Joe Chrest) into the tar, killing him. The group takes shelter in an abandoned building, where Jackson attempts to commandeer the Holo, until Katniss tells them that she is under orders from Coin to kill Snow. Katniss and most of the group escape just before a squad of Peacekeepers arrive and destroy the building, prompting the Capitol to broadcast a message announcing their deaths, but Coin hijacks the signal and praises them instead.
The team ventures into the Capitol's sewers to avoid the pods, but is attacked by genetically-engineered creatures called "mutts". Jackson, Castor (Wes Chatham), Homes (Omid Abtahi), and Finnick are killed. The surviving team members are chased by Peacekeepers after reaching the surface, and a pod kills another squad member, Messalla (Evan Ross). The team escapes and takes refuge in a shop, where a former Hunger Games stylist, Tigris (Eugenie Bondurant), hides them in her basement. While they mourn the loss of the rest of their squad, Katniss confesses that she lied about her orders to kill Snow, which the rest of the team admits they already knew.
Snow announces that the rebels have invaded the Capitol and welcomes refugees into his mansion. Katniss and Gale (Liam Hemsworth) pose as refugees to gain access to Snow. The rebels arrive and attack the Peacekeepers, killing many in the crossfire. In the chaos, Katniss marches towards Snow's mansion and finds Peacekeepers using Capitol children to provide Snow with a human shield. A Capitol hovercraft flies by and drops several parachutes into the crowd which explode, killing the children. A team of rebel medics attempt to help the injured, among whom is Katniss' sister, Prim (Willow Shields). Katniss rushes towards her as a second wave of bombs detonate, killing Prim and knocking Katniss unconscious.
Upon recovering, Katniss learns the Capitol has been conquered, and Snow captured. When Katniss confronts Snow, he claims that Coin orchestrated the bombing outside his mansion to turn his soldiers against him. Katniss realizes that the incident resembles a trap Gale had been working on. When Gale is unable to assure Katniss that the bombs were not of his design, Katniss is devastated. She attends a meeting with Coin and the remaining victors to discuss one final Hunger Games with the children of the Capitol. Katniss votes in favor of the Games, in exchange for the right to execute Snow.
At the execution, instead of shooting Snow, Katniss shoots the arrow into Coin's chest, killing her. The rebels take Katniss into custody, while Snow is left to the mercy of the crowd. Katniss is pardoned for her crime, and through a letter delivered by Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman) advises Katniss to return home to District 12.
Katniss returns to her home in the ruins of District 12. She is joined by Peeta, who has recovered his feelings for her and they grieve for Prim. Commander Paylor (Patina Miller) is elected the new President of Panem, and Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch bond over their shared trauma. Years later, they are shown playing with their two children, as Katniss ponders over the nightmares of her past.
