What the movies changed here
- CutThe telepathic link between Thomas and Teresa is dropped, as mind-to-mind talk is hard to stage; they speak normally in the film.
- CutWICKED's mind-control over the Gladers, a recurring device in the book, is largely removed from the film.
- ChangedThe Runners' maze-mapping is streamlined: the film uses a big physical model, not the book's day-by-day maps and coded patterns.
