The film begins with Thomas waking up in the Glade, a massive stone enclosure surrounded by a deadly maze. He soon discovers that he is not alone; there are other teenagers, known as Gladers, who have been trapped in the Glade for years. The Gladers are a tight-knit community, and they have developed a system to survive. They are led by a teenager named Newt Scamander, played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who becomes Thomas's ally.
As the recording ends, Gally, stung by a Griever, attacks the group. He kills one boy before Thomas dispatches him with a spear. Armed forces suddenly storm the lab, rescuing the survivors. As they are flown away in a helicopter, the camera pans out to reveal a vast, ruined wasteland. The Maze was merely an experiment. the maze runner 2014
