The Maze Runner (film)
Appearance
(Redirected from The Maze Runner)
The Maze Runner is a 2014 American neo noir dystopian science fiction action thriller film about sixteen-year-old Thomas, who awakens in a rusty elevator with no memory of who he is, only to learn he's been delivered to the middle of an intricate maze, along with a large number of other boys, who have been trying to find their way out of the ever-changing labyrinth – all while establishing a functioning society in what they call the Glade.
- Directed by Wes Ball. Written by Noah Oppenheim, Grant Pierce Myers, and T.S. Nowlin, based on James Dashner's 2009 novel of the same name.
Thomas
[edit]- This place– it's not what we thought it was. It's not a prison, it's a test. It all started when we were kids. They'd give us these challenges. They were experimenting on us. And then people started disappearing– every month, one after the other, like clockwork.
Teresa
[edit]- I remember water– feeling like I was drowning. These faces staring at me. And this voice, this woman's voice saying the same thing over and over. [Thomas: WCKD is good.]
- What if we were sent here for a reason?
Alby
[edit]- We only have three rules– First– do your part. No time for any freeloaders. Second, never harm another Glader. None of this works unless we have trust. Most importantly– never go beyond those walls. Do you understand me, Greenie?
Newt
[edit]- All right, it's like you've heard, yeah? Every month, the Box sends up a new arrival– but someone had to be first, right? Someone had to have spent a whole month in the Glade alone. That was Alby. I mean, it can't have been easy– but when those other boys started coming up, one after the other, he saw the truth. And he learned that the most important thing is that we all have each other. Because we're all in this together.
- "She's the last one– ever." What the hell does that mean?
- It doesn't matter– any of it. Because the people we were before the Maze, they don't even exist anymore. These Creators took care of that. But what does matter is who we are now and what we do right now. You went into the Maze and you found a way out.
Minho
[edit]- I think– in all the time we've been here– no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb Shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid– but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner.
Gally
[edit]- Day one, Greenie. Rise and shine.
- We gotta stop meeting like this, Greenie.
- You still think I'm overreacting?
- Everything started going wrong the minute you showed up: First Ben, then Alby– and now the girl. Everybody saw she recognized you– and I'm betting you know who she is.
- Good luck against the Grievers.
Dr. Ava Paige
[edit]- [In a recorded video] Hello. I'm Dr. Ava Paige. I'm Director of Operations at the World Catastrophe Killzone Department. If you're watching this, that means you've successfully completed the Maze Trials. I wish I could be there in person to congratulate you, but circumstances seem to have prevented it. I'm sure by now you must all be very confused, angry, frightened. I can only assure you that everything that's happened to you, everything we've done to you, it was all done for a reason. You won't remember, but the sun has scorched our world. Billions of lives lost to fire, famine. Suffering on a global scale. The fallout was unimaginable. What came after was worse. We called it the Flare. A deadly virus that attacks the brain. It is violent, unpredictable, incurable, or so we thought. In time a new generation emerged that could survive the virus, suddenly, there was a reason to hope for a cure. But finding it would not be easy. The young would have to be tested, even sacrificed, inside harsh environments where their brain activity could be studied. All in an effort to understand what makes them different. What makes you different. You may not realize it, but you're very important. Unfortunately, your trials have only just begun. [Sparks shower from a door across the room behind Paige. Ragtag soldiers dressed mostly in black break in and start gunning down the white-coated lab personnel as she speaks] As you'll no doubt soon discover, not everyone agrees with our methods. Progress is slow, people are scared. It may be too late for us, for me. But not for you. The outside world awaits. [The armed intruders are firing at the glass panels separating Paige from the rest of the lab. Paige raises a revolver to her temple.] Remember– WCKD is good.
- Well– I think it's safe to say the Maze Trials were a complete success. I wasn't expecting so many survivors, but– the more the merrier. Thomas continues to surprise and impress. And for now, they seem to have taken the bait. It's too soon to say, but– they could be the key to everything. So let's move forward. It's time now to begin– Phase Two.
Chuck
[edit]- No. Well, I mean, I know I must have them. And wherever they are, I'm sure they miss me, but I can't miss them 'cause I don't remember them.
Frypan
[edit]- Is this what all girls are like?
Jeff
[edit]- Yeah, what if Thomas is right? Maybe he can lead us home.
Ben
[edit]- Hey, Chuck. New Greenie, huh? How does it feel to be promoted?
Zart
[edit]- [While watching Thomas run] Hey, we got a Runner!
Winston
[edit]- Gally– it doesn't feel right, man.
Dialogue
[edit]- Gally: [Drops down into the Box and stares at Thomas] Day one, Greenie. [Grabs Thomas by his shirt] Rise and shine. [Pulls Thomas out of the Box and throws him onto the grass]
- [The Gladers gather around Thomas. As they look at him, Thomas gets up and runs away from them.]
- Zart: [Enthusiastic] Hey, we got a Runner!
- [Thomas runs, but trips and falls. The Gladers laugh at this, while Gally just stands watching on. Thomas gets up and looks around the Glade.]
- [Night: The Gladers throw flamming spears at the base of a large wooden statue. The flamming spears set the statue on fire. The Gladers celebrate. A boy does a series of acrobatic flips. Gally sits with some boys. The Gladers raise their drinks in a toast. Thomas and Newt sit facing the closed door of the Maze.]
- Newt: Hell of a first day, Greenie. Here. [Gives Thomas the drink] Put some hair on your chest.
- Thomas: [Takes the drink from Newt and takes a sip from it, but spits it out] Oh, my God! What is that? [Gives Newt the drink back]
- Newt: [Takes the drink back from Thomas] I don't even know. It's Gally's recipe. It's a trade secret.
- [Thomas and Newt turn around and see Gally wrestling another boy.]
- Thomas: Yeah, well, he's still an asshole.
- Newt: He saved your life today. Trust me, the Maze is a dangerous place.
- Alby: All right, guys. Let's tuck it in for the night. Come on. It was a good night.
- [As the Gladers leave, Thomas and Frypan shake hands, then Frypan leaves. As Frypan leaves, Thomas looks towards the Maze.]
- Thomas: We're trapped here, aren't we?
- Newt: For the moment, but... you see those guys, there, by the fire? Those are the Runners. And that guy in the middle there, that's Minho. He's the Keeper of the Runners. Now, every morning, when those doors open, they run the maze, mapping it, memorizing it, trying to find a way out.
- Thomas: How long have they been looking?
- Newt: Three years.
- Thomas: And they haven't found anything?
- Newt: Its a lot easier said than done. Listen. Hear that? It's the maze, changing. It changes every night.
- Thomas: How is that even possible?
- Newt: You can ask the people who put us in here, if you ever meet the bastards. Listen the truth is... the Runners are the only ones who really know what's out there. They are the strongest and the fastest of us all. And it's a good thing, too... because if they don't make it back before those doors close... then they are stuck out there for the night, and no one has ever survived a night in the maze.
- Thomas: What happens to them?
- Newt: Well, we call 'em Grievers. Of course, no one's ever seen one and lived to tell about it, but they're out there.
- [Thomas, Newt, and Zart are working in the gardens.]
- Thomas: Has anyone tried climbing to the top?
- Newt: Tried it. The ivy doesn't go all the way to the top. And besides, where are you gonna go from there?
- Thomas: Okay, what about the Box? You know, next time it comes up, we just–
- Newt: No, we tried that. The Box won't go back down with someone in it.
- Thomas: Okay, what if we–
- Newt: No, we tried it, all right? Twice, all right? Trust me, anything you think of, we've already tried. The only way out of here is through the Maze. Now, look, you wanna be helpful? [Picks up a basket with a shovel inside] Here. [Tosses Thomas the basket with the shovel inside. Thomas catches it] Go dig us up some more fertilizer.
- [Thomas heads into the woods with the basket and the shovel. As Thomas heads into the woods, Newt and Zart continue working in the gardens.]
- Minho: Where?
- Thomas: I don't know– Minho, just think. Are you telling me there's not a single place we can take him?
- Minho: [Growls in rage and grabs Thomas by his shirt] Listen to me, shuck-face. All right? Take a look around! There's nowhere to go! [There are more screeches and wails in the distance; Minho stands and looks towards the noises] You don't get it. We're already dead.
- [Council Hall: The Gladers are holding a meeting.]
- Gally: Things are changing. There's no denying that. First Ben gets stung in broad daylight, and then Alby. And now our Greenie here has taken it upon himself to go into the Maze. Which is a clear violation of our rules here.
- Frypan: Yeah, but he saved Alby's life.
- Gally: Did he? [Holds up three fingers] For three years, we have coexisted with these things. [Turns to Thomas and points at him] And now, you've killed one of them. Who knows what that could mean for us?
- Newt: Well, what do you suggest we do?
- Gally: He has to be punished.
- [The Gladers start protesting.]
- Newt: Minho– you were there with him. What do you think?
- Minho: I think– in all the time we've been here– no one's ever killed a Griever before. When I turned tail and ran, this dumb Shank stayed behind to help Alby. Look, I don't know if he's brave or stupid– but whatever it is, we need more of it. I say we make him a Runner.
- [The Gladers continue protesting.]
- Chuck: [Starts chanting] Thomas! Thomas! Thomas! Thomas!
- Gally: Look, if you wanna throw the newbie a parade, that's fine. Go ahead. But if there is one thing I know about the Maze, it is that you do not–
- [The Gladers hear an alarm coming from the Box, prompting them to run out of the Council Hall and investigate.]
- [The Gladers run out of the Council Hall and towards the Box. Newt and Gally arrive at the Box. As the Gladers run towards the Box, Newt and Gally open the doors. As Newt jumps down into the Box, Gally stands on the ledge watching on. The Gladers arrive and gather around the Box.]
- Frypan: Newt, what do you see?
- [The Gladers discover Teresa in the Box.]
- Newt: [Discovers Teresa in the Box] It's a girl.
- [Thomas approaches the other Gladers and sees Teresa in the Box.]
- Newt: I think she's dead.
- Gally: What's in her hand?
- [Newt pulls out a note from Teresa's hand, unfolds it, and reads it.]
- Newt: "She's the last one ever." What the hell does that mean?
- [Teresa wakes up, startling the other Gladers.]
- Teresa: [Sees Thomas] Thomas. [Falls asleep]
- [Thomas looks at the Gladers, then looks at Gally.]
- Gally: You still think I'm overreacting?
- [Thomas looks down at Teresa, who is lying asleep in the Box.]
- [Council Hall: Newt is looking at a cylinder that Thomas, Minho, Frypan, Winston, and Zart have pulled off a Griever.]
- Thomas: Yeah, we found this. It was inside a Griever.
- Newt: These are the same letters we get on our supplies.
- Thomas: Yeah, whoever put us here obviously made the Grievers. Now this is the first real clue, the first anything, you've found in over three years. Right, Minho?
- Minho: Right.
- Thomas: Newt, we gotta go back out there. Who knows where this might lead us.
- [Newt turns to Gally.]
- Gally: You see what he is trying to do, right? First he breaks our rules and then he tries to convince us to abandon them totally. The rules are the only thing that have ever held us together. Why now are we questioning that? If Alby was here, you know he'd agree with me. This Shank needs to be punished.
- [Newt looks at Thomas and gives Minho the cylinder. Minho takes it.]
- Newt: You're right. Thomas broke the rules. One night in the Pit and no food.
- Gally: Oh, come on, Newt! One night in the Pit? You think that's gonna stop him from going into the Maze?
- Newt: No. And we can't just have non-Runners running into the Maze whenever they feel like it, so let's just make this official. Starting from tomorrow, you're a Runner.
- Gally: Wow. [Starts to leave]
- Frypan: [Tries to stop Gally from leaving] Gally.
- Gally: [Pushes Frypan's hand away from him] No, Fry.
- [Gally leaves the Council Hall, with Frypan following behind. As Frypan follows Gally out of the Council Hall, Thomas turns to Newt.]
- Thomas: Thanks, Newt.
- [Thomas and Teresa sit at the edge of the upper platform.]
- Teresa: "She's the last one." What does that mean?
- Thomas: I'm not sure. Ever since you came up, that Box hasn't gone back down. You know, and I just think it's got everyone a little worried. Especially Gally.
- [Thomas and Teresa look down and see Gally, with his arms crossed, looking up at the top of the tower.]
- Teresa: He thinks it's my fault.
- Thomas: Are you sure you don't remember anything else?
- Teresa: I remember water, feeling like I was drowning. These faces staring at me. And this voice, this woman's voice saying the same thing over and over.
- Thomas: "WCKD is good." Ever since I've been here, I've had these dreams. Well, I thought they were dreams. You– You were there. You were there, and you told me that everything was gonna change.
- Teresa: What does it mean?
- Thomas: I don't know. I– I just always get pieces.
- Teresa: And the others don't remember anything?
- Thomas: No. Why are we different?
- Teresa: [Pulls out two vials of serum from her pocket] These were in my pocket when I came up. [Give Thomas the two vials of serum]
- Thomas: [Takes the two vials of serum from Teresa and examines them] "W.C.K.D." "WCKD is good."
- Teresa: What if we were sent here for a reason?
- Thomas: [Remembers something] Alby.
- [Medical hut: Alby is lying on a bed writhing in pain from being stung by a Griever.]
- Newt: We don't even know what this stuff is. We don't know who sent it, or why it came up here with you. I mean, for all we know, this thing could kill him.
- Thomas: He's already dying. Look at him. How could this possibly make it any worse? Come on, it's worth a try.
- [Thomas, Teresa, and Newt look at Alby, who is writhing in pain.]
- Newt: All right. [Gives Thomas the vial of serum] Do it.
- [Taking the vial of serum from Newt, Thomas approaches Alby and gets ready to inject the vial of serum into his chest.]
- Thomas: [Turns to look at Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint] Okay.
- Alby: [Grabs Thomas and starts violently attacking him] You shouldn't be here! You shouldn't be here! NO!
- [Newt, Jeff, and Clint try to restrain Alby.]
- Thomas: Get the syringe!
- [Teresa plunges the vial of serum into Alby's chest. He calms down.]
- Jeff: Well, that worked.
- Newt: Okay, from now on, someone stays here and watches him around the clock.
- [Teresa looks from Newt to Alby.]
- Gally: [Enters the hut] Hey. [Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint turn to him] Sundown, Greenie. Time to go.
- [Thomas looks at Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint before leaving the hut, with Gally following behind. As Gally follows Thomas out of the hut, Teresa, Newt, Jeff, and Clint watch Alby sleep.]
- [Thomas and Gally are making their way to the Pit, a set of separate holes dug in the ground and covered by a wood shelter and bamboo cage doors.]
- Thomas: Hey, what is your problem with me?
- Gally: Everything started going wrong the minute you showed up. First Ben, then Alby– and now the girl.
- [Thomas and Gally arrive at the Pit.]
- Gally: Everybody saw she recognized you– and I'm betting you know who she is.
- [Gally opens the door of the Pit. Thomas glances at Gally before jumping down inside. Gally closes the door of the Pit, then crouches down to fasten the ropes that "lock" the Pit shut.]
- Thomas: Gally. You know we can't stay here forever, right?
- [Gally stares at Thomas for a moment, then gets up, picks up his torch, and leaves, with Thomas watching on from the door of the Pit.]
- [Thomas and Minho return to the Glade where the Gladers are waiting for them.]
- Newt: What the hell is going on out there?
- Gally: What the hell you done now, Thomas?
- [Thomas and the Gladers start walking.]
- Thomas: We found something. A new passage. We think it could be a way out.
- Newt: Really?
- Minho: It's true. We opened a door. Something I've never seen before. I think it must be where the Grievers go during the day.
- Chuck: [Approaches Thomas and Minho] Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa! Are you saying you found the Grievers' home, and you want us to go in?
- Thomas: Their way in could be our way out, Chuck.
- Gally: Yeah, or there could be a dozen Grievers on the other side. The truth is, Thomas doesn't know what he's done, as usual.
- Thomas: [Turns around and faces Gally] Yeah, well, at least I did something, Gally. I mean, what have you done? Huh? Aside from hide behind these walls all the time?
- Gally: Let me tell you something, Greenie. You've been here three days, all right? I've been here three years.
- Thomas: Yeah, you've been here three years, and you're still here, Gally! All right, so what does that tell you? Maybe you should start doing things a little differently.
- Gally: Maybe you should be in charge, Thomas. What about that? Maybe you should be in charge.
- [While Thomas and Gally are arguing, Teresa calls out to them and the Gladers, causing them to turn to her.]
- Teresa: Guys. Hey! It's Alby! He's awake.
- [Gally comes striding out of the smoke as the Gladers' gardens burn after a mass-attack by the Grievers, the first time they have openly attacked the Glade at night. Alby was taken in the attack and many others are missing.]
- Thomas: Gally–
- [Consumed by far more rage, vlolence, and aggressiveness than before, Gally punches Thomas in the face hard, sending him to the ground and causing shouts of protest to break out.]
- Gally: This is all you, Thomas! Huh? Look around!
- [Several Gladers restrain Gally and start pulling him away.]
- Minho: Back off, Gally! It's not Thomas's fault!
- Gally: You heard what Alby said! He's one of them!
- Newt: One of who?!
- Gally: He's one of them, and they sent him here, to destroy everything, AND NOW HE HAS! Look around, Thomas! Look around! This is your fault! He's one of them, and they sent him here to destroy everything that we've built!
- [Gally continues to fight the boys holding onto him, shouting furiously at Thomas, but the Gladers manage to move him farther away.]
- Thomas: What if he's right?
- Teresa: Thomas?
- Thomas: I need to remember, Teresa.
- [Before anyone nearby can stop him, Thomas plunges the Griever stinger into his thigh. The venom makes him collapse almost instantly.]
- Teresa: Chuck, get the other syringe!
- [As Gally crosses out Alby's name, three boys take Thomas and Teresa to the poles. Two boys drop Thomas down to the ground. Gally approaches Thomas.]
- Gally: This is such a waste.
- Winston: Gally– [Gally turns to him and Jeff] It doesn't feel right, man.
- Jeff: Yeah, what if Thomas is right? Maybe he can lead us home.
- Gally: [Steps towards Winston and Jeff] We are home, okay? I don't want to have to cross anymore names off that wall.
- Teresa: [While being held by a boy] You really think banishing us is going to solve anything?
- Gally: No– but this isn't a banishing. It's an offering.
- [A boy pulls Teresa to a pole and starts tying her arms.]
- Teresa: What? Wait! Gally, what are you doing?
- Gally: You really think I'm gonna let Thomas back into the Maze after what he's done? Look around you! Look at our Glade!
- [Newt and Minho look at each other. Chuck, wearing bags and holding a spear, looks on.]
- Gally: This is the only way. And when the Grievers get what they came here for, everything goes back to the way it was.
- Teresa: Are you listening to this? Why are you all just standing there? He's crazy!
- Gally: You shut up.
- Teresa: If you stay here, the Grievers are going to come back. They're gonna come back, and they're gonna keep coming back until you're all dead!
- Gally: Shut up! [To two boys] Tie him up! [Two boys just stare at him] Do you hear me? I said tie him up!
- [The two boys start to get Thomas up, when he suddenly elbows one boy in the stomach, then grabs the spear from him and uses it to hit another boy in the face, knocking him down to the ground. Newt draws a machete and uses it to hit the boy in the back of the head. Teresa kicks the boy in the groin. Gally pulls out his machete and starts towards Thomas, Teresa, and Newt, but Minho holds a machete at his right shoulder. As Thomas points the spear at Gally, Frypan cuts Teresa free from the pole. Newt, Minho, Frypan, and Chuck join Thomas and Teresa. Frypan gives Teresa a machete. Teresa takes it.]
- Gally: [Shrugs] You're full of surprises, aren't you?
- Thomas: You don't have to come with us, but we are leaving. Anyone else who wants to come, now's your last chance.
- Gally: [Stops a boy before he can start forward] Don't listen to him. He's just trying to scare you, all right?
- Thomas: No, I'm not trying to scare you, you're already scared. [Gally turns to him] All right, I'm scared. But I'd rather risk my life out there than spending the rest of it in here. We don't belong here. Okay, this place isn't our home. We were put here, okay? We were trapped here. At least out there, we have a choice. We can make it outta here. I know that.
- [Winston goes over to Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, and Frypan, with Jeff following suit.]
- Jeff: [To Gally] I'm sorry. [Goes over to Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, and Winston]
- [A group of boys go over to Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, and Jeff.]
- Thomas: Gally, it's over. [Gally hangs his head in resignation] Just come with us.
- [Gally raises his head and stares at Thomas, knowing he has no choice but to let him, Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, Jeff, and a group of boys leave the Maze.]
- Gally: Good luck against the Grievers.
- [As Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, Jeff, and a group of boys run out of the Maze, Thomas stares at Gally and another group of boys for a moment before following Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Chuck, Winston, Jeff, and a group of boys out of the Maze, Another group of boys walk away from the entrance, but Gally and another boy don't join them, choosing instead to watch Thomas, Teresa, Newt, Minho, Frypan, Winston, Jeff, and a group of boys run out of the Maze.]
- [WCKD lab: After watching Dr. Ava Paige in the recorded video.]
- Chuck: Is it over?
- Newt: She said we were important. What're we supposed to do now?
- Thomas: I don't know. Let's get outta here.
- [The surviving Gladers all start for the hallway that leads outside, but halt suddenly.]
- Gally: [From behind the Gladers] No.
- [The Gladers turn around and see that Gally has appeared in the lab.]
- Thomas: Gally? [Starts forward]
- Teresa: [Stops Thomas] Don't. He's been stung.
- [Gally has, in fact, been stung by a Griever. He holds a pistol in his right hand and a cylinder in his left hand. Gally drops the cylinder on the floor.]
- Gally: [Sobbing] We can't leave.
- Thomas: We did, Gally, we're out. We're free.
- Gally: Free? [Gestures around the lab, then gestures towards the exit] You think we're free out there? No. No, there's no escape from this place. [Raises the pistol and points it at Thomas, still sobbing]
- Thomas: Gally, listen to me. You're not thinking straight. You're not. Now, we can help you.
- [Minho silently grips a spear while looking at Gally, getting ready to throw it into his chest.]
- Thomas: Just put down the gun.
- Gally: I belong to the Maze.
- Thomas: Just put down the gun.
- [Chuck glances at Thomas, then turns his gaze on Gally, getting ready to take the bullet in the chest.]
- Gally: We all do.
- [As Chuck jumps between Thomas and Gally, Minho throws the spear at Gally, causing it to non-fatally impale him in the chest. Gally starts gasping for breath and air, then drops to his knees. He drops the pistol on the floor, then collapses on his right side, unable to move.]
- Chuck: [Feels some pain in his chest, to Thomas] Thomas– [Blood starts oozing from his chest]
- [Chuck collapses to the floor, with Thomas clinging onto him.]
- Thomas: [Tries to stop the bleeding on Chuck's chest] Chuck. Chuck. Oh, no. Chuck? Chuck? Shit! Shit! Hey, look at me, look at me, look a me! Oh, shit! Chuck, look at me, all right? I got you, buddy. Just hang on. Shit, shit, shit!
- Chuck: It's okay. [Grabs Thomas' shoulder] Thomas. Thomas. [Gives Thomas the figurine]
- Thomas: [Takes the figurine from Chuck] No, no, Chuck. You're gonna give it to them yourself, remember? I told you that.
- Chuck: Take it.
- Thomas: No.
- Chuck: Thank you. Thank you.
- [Chuck dies. Thomas and the other Gladers cry over Chuck's dead body. The masked soldiers arrive in the lab and drag Thomas and the other Gladers out of the lab as Gally, still unable to move, watches on.]
