Summary
After escaping the Glade, Thomas and the other Gladers are taken to a facility that claims to shelter survivors from WCKD, but they soon discover the operation is not what it seems. Fleeing into the Scorch, a sun-blasted wasteland overrun by infected Cranks, they search for the Right Arm resistance while WCKD hunts them for their immunity to the Flare virus.
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is a 2015 action, adventure and science-fiction film.
378 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 387 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 1,690 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s films — 13,059 of them.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against Films · 2010s (13,059 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 378.
