"Maze Runner: Scorch Trials," the second film in the Wes Ball-directed franchise, follows Thomas (Dylan O'Brien) and the other Gladers as they take on an adversary even bigger than WCKD, aka The Scorch, a barren wasteland that used to be civilization but is now just full of zombie-like Cranks and super dusty abandoned malls. (No Auntie Anne's? No thanks.)

And from actor Aidan Gillen's warnings in the trailer, we know they're probably not gonna last very long.
