Following on from the events of 'Divergent', the mysterious government has discovered a magical maguffin which had the power to create the idyllic future they have always hoped to fulfil. The only catch, is that it requires a Divergent in order to activate it. As the government begins testing any and all Divergents they can find, Tris (Shailene Woodley) is already on the run, and meets up with an army of secret, hidden Divergents. When it is revealed that she may be the only one to truly activate the maguffin, the Divergents rise up as an Insurgency, and take the fight to the government that has oppressed them for too long.

With director Robert Schwentke ('RED', 'R.I.P.D.') taking over from Neil Burger who worked as director on the first film, 'Insurgent' is the second film in the 'Divergent' series, based on the book-series of the same name from first-time writer Veronica Roth. Principle photography for 'Insurgent' began on 27th May 2014, barely two months after 'Divergent' opened in US theatres. Filming concluded on 6th September 2014 - two days before 'Divergent' opened in Chinese cinemas. 'Insurgent' is set to open in UK cinemas on 20th March 2015, with a US opening on the following day.
