The Maize Runner

The film is about a farmer in America who is internationally known for having the largest, most complicated corn maze there is. The town he lived became famous for the maze. However, eventually he became bored and restless in his life because he thought he had peaked already with his grand corn maze. He had no wife, no children, no goals, only corn. So one day he woke up and decided that he wanted to do something different. He had done a lot of planting and watering and harvesting from above in a cheap air plane he had purchased to tend to his corn maze, but he had never traveled the maze himself. So he set out that morning to walk through his corn maze. However, I guess he didn't fully realize that the fun day walk he was planning, was in truly the largest, most complicated corn maze in the world. He was the father of the maze for god's sake! He thought he of all people would be able to walk through it with ease. But he was so wrong. He walked for days and then weeks through the twists and turns. He couldn't just push through the corn itself because of the way the maze was configured. The farmer had bred a new type of corn with amazingly strong stalks that wouldn't break. And, he discovered a brand new way to plant the corn extremely close together so it couldn't be pushed apart. The whole idea behind the corn maze was that there would be no cheating. What about when the maker himself wanted to cheat though? The farmer eventually gave up trying to find a way out. He stayed in the maze for two years, sustaining himself off of his own corn. On a warm afternoon in his second year among the corn, he lifts his crooked nose to the sky and takes a whiff. What he smells is chili peppers. He follows the scent of chili peppers, and he follows it until it leads him out of the maze. The farmer is astounded to find that in his lengthy absence, a new farmer moved into his house and had taken his land to grow chili peppers. He went to talk to the new farmer, and discovered that he planned to take down the corn maze to expand his chili pepper crops. The original farmer must decide what is important to him and fight for what belongs to him.
