The final installment of "The Hunger Games" films is almost here, and in a new trailer released earlier this week, it looks like the citizens of Panem have had enough of the Capitol's oppression and have waged war against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and his administration.

The new trailer for "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" starts with a few scenes from the previous films, which sees Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) competing in the Hunger Games, and because of her open defiance to the games, Snow has come to see her as a threat.

"Because of her, they all think that they're invincible," said Snow about Katniss.

And though at first she was reluctant to be the Mockingjay—Panem's symbol of the rebellion—Katniss realized that her actions during the games has given people hope that the Capitol can be overturned.

"You've given them an opportunity," Gale (Liam Hemsworth) tells her. "People want to fight."

She gets more encouragement from Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), who tells her, "If you end all of these, our lives will mean something."

With the hopes and dreams of many people in her hands, Katniss sets out and leads a group of rebels in the first attacks against Snow and his allies. In the trailer, Katniss and Gale are seen taking to the streets along with the other rebels as they battle their way towards the Capitol.

Towards the end of the clip, Katniss is seen talking to the people, and she urges them to fight against the oppressor.

"Tonight, turn your weapons to the Capitol," she tells the crowd.

"The Hunger Games" is a dystopian trilogy based on the books of the same name by Suzanne Collins. "Mockingjay Part 2" also stars Elizabeth Banks as Effie Trinket, Woody Harrelson as Haymitch Abernathy, Willow Shields as Primrose Everdeen, Natalie Dormer as Cressida, Gwendoline Christie as Commander Lyme, and Julianne Moore as President Alma Coin.

"The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2" premieres on Nov. 20.
