The objectives of this research are to identify the types of maxim flouting conveyed by the characters of Hunger Games movie and to describe the functions of maxim flouting conveyed by the characters of Hunger Games movie. This research was qualitative-quantitative method, which means that this research used both qualitative and quantitative method. The data were collected from the utterances of all the characters containing maxim flouting in Hunger Games movie. Dialogues became the context of the data. Next, the sources of the data were Hunger Games movie and its transcript. The data collection was conducted by (1) downloading the sources, (2) watching the movie, (3) reading and note taking the transcript, (4) sorting the utterances of maxim flouting, and (5) arranging the obtainable data. The analysis was conducted by (1) the utterances collection, (2) the maxim flouting selection, (3) the types of maxim flouting categorization, (4) the function of maxim flouting identification, and (5) the conclusion deduction. There are two results of this research. The first result is that all types of maxim are flouted by the characters of Hunger Games movie. In terms of dominance, the maxim of relation flouting is in the highest rank which means that the characters that the characters usually deliver utterances which are not relevant to the topic of conversation. On the other hand, the maxim of quantity flouting and the maxim of manner flouting are in the lowest rank which means that the characters rarely flout those maxims in their utterances. Then, the second result is that the maxim floutings found in this movie have four functions: representative, directive, commissive, and expressive. One function which is the declarative function cannot be found in this movie since this function only occurs when the speaker has to have a special institutional role to change the state of affairs in reality. In this case, the characters in this movie do not have this characterization. On the other hand, the most dominant function of the maxim flouting found in Hunger Games movie is the representative function which means that the characters commonly flout the maxim of conversation by asserting and reporting the listeners about the information in their conversation.
