In The Maze Runner, teenaged Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) finds himself in field near a massive labyrinth with no memory of his past life. He soon becomes a runner with Minho (Ki Hong Lee), Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), Gally (Will Poulter),  and along with Teresa (Kaya Scodelario) — the only female  Glader– convinces the group that he can find a way out of the ever-changing maze where they are chased by robotic monsters. Shot in Louisiana, The Maze Runner grossed about $350 million in box office worldwide.

The maze was only the beginning. In Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials, the Gladers escape a mysterious government organization known as WCKD into a desolate, desert landscape called the Scorch filled with virus-infected Cranks.. There they team up with resistance fighters Right Arm to challenge WCKD’s massive forces. Filmed in New Mexico, The Scorch Trials grossed  about $310 million in box office worldwide.
