Tris and Four fight for the future
Did you know
The Divergent Series is based on the Divergent trilogy of novels by Veronica Roth.
Directed by Robert Schwentke, The Divergent Series: Insurgent is the second film in the Divergent action sci-fi series.
After being exposed to Divergents — people who don’t fit neatly into one of the five societal classifications or
factions — Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) find themselves on the run from Jeanine (Kate Winslet), the power-hungry leader of the Erudite faction.
As the traitorous Dauntless troops under Jeanine’s command prowl the ruins of Chicago rounding up Divergents, Tris and Four traverse the city hoping to find allies among the Amity, Candor, Abnegation and Dauntless factions, as well as the rebellious and impoverished mass of Factionless.
Although feeling guilty over the deaths of her family and friends, Tris tries to uncover the secret her parents sacrificed their lives to protect — the secret that explains why Jeanine will stop at nothing to capture her. Tris faces her darkest fears in a series of near-impossible challenges as she seeks to unlock the truth about the past in an effort to save the future of their world.
Catch the heart-stopping action when Insurgent opens in local cinemas on March 20.
