Divergent is a compelling dystopian film series set in a post-apocalyptic Chicago where society is divided into five virtue-based factions. The narrative centers around Beatrice, ‘Tris,’ Prior (Shailene Woodley), a young woman who defies the norm as a ‘Divergent’ – unfit for any faction.
Alongside Four (Theo James), her instructor and fellow Divergent, Tris tackles a dangerous conspiracy that not only threatens their lives but also the entire societal structure. Originally adapted from Veronica Roth’s novels, the series made it to the screen with two successful films. For the finale, however, fans will need to turn to the books, as the third installment never made its cinematic debut.
