Movie
6.0/10on IMDb

As Above, So Below
Movie
6.3/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Try this for a group whose map of the catacombs stops making sense. Their route through tunnels and chambers seems to send them back toward places they thought they’d passed, and moving farther in may be the only choice left. Handheld filming makes the spaces feel especially tight.

The Pyramid (2014)

The Pyramid
Movie
4.7/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Pick this for a newly uncovered Egyptian pyramid whose passageways are harder to retrace than the explorers expected. The crew’s equipment initially gives them confidence that they can find a route; their actual movements tell you how little of the maze they understand. It’s a creature feature with a camera crew.

Jumanji: The Next Level
Movie
6.6/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Try the sequel for a familiar game whose route and character abilities no longer line up with what the players expect. The moving bridges make the change visible, while changed avatars give old teammates another reason to stop and talk. The tone is brisk and broad.

Logan's Run (1976)

by movie_expert  • 
Logan's Run
Movie
6.8/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Try this for a city with a public ceremony that explains why leaving it is against the rules. Logan’s job gives him one idea of how dissenters get out, but the physical infrastructure tells a different story once he has to use it himself. The look is bright and distinctly ’70s.

Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (2015)

by movie_expert  • 
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials
Movie
6.3/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Choose the first direct sequel if you want to follow the Gladers into a problem that doesn’t have stone walls. Supplies, ruins, and who offers them shelter start to matter more than mapping the old Maze. Go here after the original for the group dynamic before trying an unrelated film.

Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)

by movie_expert  • 
Maze Runner: The Death Cure
Movie
6.3/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Pick the third film if your favorite part was the group taking turns at a job only one person could do. A rescue takes the survivors into a fortified city, so getting through controlled entrances matters more than orienting themselves outdoors. Finish the first two films before starting it.

The Great Escape
Movie
8.2/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Pick this for a group that has to build a route where none exists. The prisoners divide jobs among diggers, document makers, and people who can keep the guards distracted. It has the satisfaction of a large plan and the strain of depending on people you can’t see.

by movie_expert  • 
Escape from Alcatraz
Movie
7.5/10on IMDb
Released
Routes under pressure. Choose this for the patient part of an escape, when knowing how a cell fits into a building matters more than running fast. Frank Morris and his partners test what the guards can see and what the prison’s materials let them do. The suspense builds around accumulated detail.
