Book 2 Screen: ‘The Scorch Trials’ Is On Fire

Out in theaters September 18th, the next installment in the Maze Runner series is finally here!!! The Scorch Trials is the second film in the Maze Runner series, based off of the second book of the 4-book series from YA author James Dashner.

The second installment finds Thomas and the other Gladers (Spoiler Alert if you haven’t read/seen Maze Runner yet) outside the maze only to face a new set of challenging obstacles in their post-maze life. The environment outside the maze is desolate, and the Gladers find themselves in a place called The Scorch where they search for clues about a mysterious entity called WCKD.
