Thomas wakes up in an elevator, which slowly ascends. When the box stops and the doors open, Thomas finds himself in the middle of a group of kids welcoming him to the Glade: a huge open space flanked by giant concrete walls. His mind is a total blank. He has no idea where he is, he doesn't know where he comes from, and he can't remember his parents, his past, or even his own name.
They only know that the gigantic concrete doors leading to the Labyrinth open every morning. That every night, at sunset, they close again. And that, every thirty days, a new boy arrives in the elevator. The predictable behavior of the Labyrinth made Thomas' arrival expected. The surprise comes one week later when the box brings up the first girl.
Movies like The Maze Runner are set in dystopian futures where people have to do out of the ordinary things to survive and try to break the system.
