In the popular Hunger Games trilogy, young adults called tributes compete against each other in a televised battle to the death to become the victor. This paper will examine the force field that surrounds the arena where the games take place and is frequently shown throughout the books and movies. The health implications of interacting with the field and its physical feasibility are examined.
