Our take on Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials

Wes Ball's 2015 sequel pushes the young survivors of the maze further into hostile territory. Thomas and his fellow Gladers now face their toughest test yet: hunting for clues about WCKD, the shadowy organization behind their ordeal. Their search leads into the Scorch, a scorched, desolate wasteland strewn with brutal obstacles, where they join forces with resistance fighters to take on WCKD's far stronger forces and uncover its disturbing designs on them. This action-driven science-fiction thriller trades some of the first film's enclosed mystery for open-world chase and survival. It suits viewers who like propulsive young-adult dystopias with constant momentum, and works best watched after the original for context.
