Welcome to the Maze: Maze Runner Review

The movie starts with a boy named Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) waking up in a metal cage. The cage lifts him into a grassy area, called the Glade, where he is greeted by a large group of boys who live there because they are trapped. Surrounding them is a deadly maze, filled with monsters called Grievers. Nobody except a select few called runners are allowed into the Maze for any reason. Life goes on in the Glade just fine until one of the boys tragically dies in the Maze. Alby (Aml Ameen), the group’s leader, goes into the Maze to find any sign of him, and he and Minho (Ki Hong Lee), the head runner, don’t make it back before nightfall. Just as the gate is about to close, Thomas runs in and soon discovers the horrors of the Maze firsthand.

The weapons that are associated with this extremely violent time are often looked at with profound shock as they look like they were used for torture. These possible torture weapons have long been locked up for safe keeping and rightfully so.
