Its sequel, ‘ The Scorch Trials’, saw the now-escaped Gladers taking the fight to WCKD, the shadowy organisation led by Ava (Patricia Clarkson) and Janson (Aiden Gillen) that was responsible for their ordeal, and linking up with a Resistance led by Vince (Barry Pepper). The big reveal – that they were youths immune to the ‘flare virus’ responsible for decimating humanity, sent into the maze as part of an experimental trial to produce a cure – made much of its plot a thrilling albeit inconsequential set-up. Each day, the self-appointed Gladers would explore the maze, trying to find an escape or unlock the secrets of their imprisonment after the first girl, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), is delivered into their ranks, the maze began the change. The first film, ‘The Maze Runner’, had a terrifically straightforward premise that was blown apart by its curious ending a teen, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien), awoke in a glade populated by other young men and surrounded by an enormous maze, filled with unspeakable horrors. The ‘Maze Runner’ films have always been a strange proposition.
