HBO Max has added the complete *Maze Runner* trilogy to its streaming library, bringing renewed attention to the dystopian sci-fi franchise that ran through the 2010s. Directed by Wes Ball and adapted from James Dashner's novels, the series follows Thomas, a teenager who wakes up with no memory inside a mysterious maze called the Glade, before the story expands into a wider fight for survival against a world-ending virus and the sinister organisation WCKD.

The 2014 original, starring Dylan O'Brien, grossed $348 million worldwide against a $34 million budget and holds a 65% Rotten Tomatoes score, praised for its tight, action-driven storytelling. Its 2015 sequel, *The Scorch Trials*, earned $312.3 million despite some criticism of its plotting, while the 2018 finale, *The Death Cure*, closed out the trilogy with $288.2 million in takings, offering a satisfying if divisive conclusion to the saga.
