In the climax of the movie, Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his fellow Gladers, who have escaped the maze, discover the true purpose behind WCKD (World Catastrophe Killzone Department) and their experiments. WCKD, led by Dr. Ava Paige (Patricia Clarkson), is conducting experiments on immune survivors in an attempt to find a cure for the Flare virus, a deadly disease that turns people into Cranks, zombie-like creatures.
In the resolution, the Gladers, including Thomas, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), Minho (Ki Hong Lee), Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), and others, join forces with a resistance group called the Right Arm. Together, they plan to take down WCKD and put an end to their unethical experiments.
The film ends with a confrontation at a WCKD facility. The Gladers successfully infiltrate the complex, rescue other immune individuals, and confront Dr. Ava Paige. During the chaos, Thomas learns that Teresa has been working with WCKD, causing tension among the group.
The film concludes with the survivors escaping the facility, leaving WCKD in chaos. The final scenes set the stage for the next installment, hinting at the continued fight against WCKD and the pursuit of a safe haven.
In summary, “Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials” ends with the Gladers uncovering WCKD’s true intentions, joining forces with the Right Arm, and initiating a rebellion against the organization. The film explores themes of survival, trust, and the consequences of scientific experimentation in a post-apocalyptic world.
