But as his cast strike picturesque poses on hilltops – surely unwise when on the run? – it becomes clear that his real focus is on striking visuals and nods to Spielberg, in which respect the film delivers far beyond its budget.
Like the makers of ‘The Hunger Games’ and ‘Divergent’, director Wes Ball bolsters his young cast with character actor stalwarts (Patricia Clarkson, Aidan Gillen, Lili Taylor). The sinister WCKD organisation (not to be confused with the alcopop brand) needs our hero’s brain fluids to effect a cure. Solar flares have scorched the planet and a somehow related virus has transformed much of humanity into zombie-like monsters. Teaming up with resistance fighters, the Gladers take on WCKD’s vastly superior forces and uncover its shocking plans for them all. Their journey takes them to the Scorch, a desolate landscape filled with unimaginable obstacles. James Dashner is the author of the 1 New York Times bestselling Maze Runner series: The Maze Runner, The Scorch Trials, The Death Cure, The Kill Order and The Fever Code, as well as the bestselling Mortality Doctrine series: The Eye of Minds, The Rule of Thoughts, and The Game of Lives. Along with the pre-existing cast of Dylan O’Brien, Thomas Brodie-Sangster, Ki Hong Lee, Kaya Scodelario and Patricia Clarkson, Rosa Salazar, Jacob Lofland, Barry Pepper, Aidan Gillen and Lili Taylor rounded out the supporting cast for.

Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and friends have escaped the maze in which they were trapped, but outside the world is in chaos. Thomas and his fellow Gladers face their greatest challenge yet: searching for clues about the mysterious and powerful organization known as WCKD. The film is the second part in a series based on the Maze Runner trilogy of books written by James Dashner. This second instalment in another post-apocalyptic YA trilogy makes no concession to those who have not been keeping up, throwing us into the maelstrom with its young stars.
