After they had just escaped from the maze, our new beloved group of teens is on the run again, this time with baddies in hot pursuit. They’ve discovered that their would-be protectors, known as WCKD pronounced wicked, have something nasty planned for them.

Instead of being a handful of locations, the sequel opens up to vast, ruined cities, sterile compounds and makeshift communities. We really get a sense of the what happened to the world that these characters live in, and much like last time, Ball's confident direction really captures
