The movie Insurgent, the second in the Divergent big screen series, raises the stakes for Tris as she searches for allies and answers in the ruins of a futuristic Chicago.
Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) are now fugitives on the run, hunted by Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the leader of the power-hungry Erudite elite. Racing against time, they must find out what Tris’s family sacrificed their lives to protect, and why the Erudite leaders will do anything to stop them. Haunted by her past choices but desperate to protect the ones she loves, Tris, with Four at her side, faces one impossible challenge after another as they unlock the truth about the past and ultimately the future of their world.
The film is based on author Veronica Roth’s New York Times best-seller of the same name.
