“THE MAZE RUNNER” Manual And Prayer
Set in the future where humanity now
treads, “The Maze Runner” brings together a group of boys with the exception of
one girl in a virtual prison called the Glade where they are mysteriously
delivered into to run find out who’s the best and fittest - their strength,
emotion and intelligence are tested by a covert group of researchers to see who
will last in a post-apocalyptic world outside the Glade.
Thomas (played by Dylan O’Brien)
enters the Glade with nary a memory of himself except for his name. Once inside the Glade, he is equally welcomed
and scorned by the boys that have been there ahead of him. Naturally curious, Thomas begins to question
their entrapment and starts to find a way out through a dangerous maze within
the Glade where massive walls are built that keeps on changing paths every
single day. Along with the elite of
runners named Minho (played by Ki Hong Lee), Thomas runs the maze in the
morning before the predators, known as the Grievers, come out.
Based on the
bestselling book for young adults by James Dashner (of the same title), “The
Maze Runner” is a non-stop thrilling adventure escape from the unknown. Meanwhile, before entering the world of “The
Maze Runner,” Minho, the leader of the runners have prepared a manual and
prayer for the audience set to join the run on September 17 in cinemas.
Runners’
Prayer
Endow us with speed and agility to navigate
through the Maze
Help us to protect and defend our family in
the Glade
From the narrows to the blades and back may
you guide us safely before the walls close
When we are in harm’s way, protect us from
the Griever sting.
Grant us victory and lasting peace
So that our running may not have been in
vain
If not here in the Glade, out there at a
better place.
