On the big screen: The Maze Runner

Starring: Thomas Sangster, Will Poulter, Kaya Scodelario, Dylan OBrien and Aml Ameen.

Director: Wes Ball.

Based on the young adult novel by James Dashner, this sci-fi thriller centres on teenager Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) who wakes to find himself without any memory of his past in a place called The Glade, the centre of a giant maze inside of which live vicious creatures called Grievers.

The Glade is inhabited by other teenage boys, all of whom have no memory of their previous life, and who, as a group are working to engineer an escape.

Periodically the doors to the maze open allowing the boys inside, but they also close without warning and no boy who has ventured inside has ever survived a night in the maze.

But everything begins to change when the latest arrival turns out to be a girl whose thoughts Thomas can read.

Together, they form a special bond and along with the other boys they launch a desperate bid for freedom.
