After having survived the turmoil of a giant maze designed to filter the brightest of young minds, Thomas (O’Brien) and his friends attempt to discover the secrets of the organisation that put them in the maze in the first place, known as WCKD. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape with terrifying obstacles where they must team up with a group of resistance fighters to fight off WCKD’s vastly superior forces and their shocking plans for everyone…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The adventure that began in The Maze Runner continues in spectacularly entertaining fashion in The Scorch Trials, a film that manages to outdo its predecessor in terms of scale and breath-taking action.
