The plot of 'Maze Runner: The Death Cure'

The Death Cure is the final instalment in the Maze Runner film franchise, based on the book series by James Dashner. The film was released in 2018 and grossed over $288 million worldwide.

The plot of Maze Runner: The Death Cure centres on the young hero Thomas and his band of Gladers, who are immune to the Flare virus that has ravaged the world's population. They must embark on a dangerous mission to save their captured friend, Minho, from WCKD (World In Catastrophe Killzone Department), an organization responsible for capturing and experimenting on immune children. WCKD is headed by Ava Paige and her assistant Janson (the "Rat Man"), who is desperate for a cure as he is succumbing to the Flare virus himself.

Thomas and his friends, including Newt and Frypan, join forces with the Right Arm resistance to rescue Minho and the other Immunes. They discover that Minho is being tortured by WCKD, who are hoping to develop a cure for the virus. The group makes their way to the \"Last City\", a WCKD-controlled labyrinth that may be the deadliest maze of all. Along the way, they are attacked by Cranks—humans infected with the Flare—but are saved by Jorge and Brenda, who join their mission.

As they approach the Last City, the group is captured and taken to a hideout, where they discover that one of their captors is Gally, a former adversary who is now working with the Right Arm. Thomas and his allies eventually make it to the Last City, where they confront Ava and Janson. Thomas kills Janson, and he and Teresa escape to the roof, where she gives him the cure. Unfortunately, Teresa dies when the building collapses. The group escapes with the rest of the Immunes to a safe haven island, where they can rebuild civilization. Thomas discovers a note from Newt, asking him to look after everyone.
