If that description of the film sounds somewhat Mad Max-less, that’s because it is, for the first act at least. When the masked, deformed, and insane Joe realizes this, he leads a war party after Furiosa to retrieve his wives. Halfway to her destination, however, she veers off-road, thus setting the insane events of this insane film in motion.Īs it turns out, Furiosa is actually smuggling Immortan Joe’s Five Wives (the women he keeps as “breeders”) to safety. The film begins with Furiosa, a badass, one-armed raider, leading a convoy of war rigs from the Citadel - a colony led by the film’s antagonist, Immortan Joe - to Gas Town, a city with a monopoly grip on gasoline.

“Fury Road,” essentially a reboot of the series rather than a strict continuation, stars Tom Hardy (“Bronson”) and Charlize Theron (“Monster”) as Max Rockatansky and Imperator Furiosa, respectively. When it finally became a reality with the release of “Mad Max: Fury Road,” this month, the response from fans and critics alike was virtually unanimous: it was worth the wait. Miller had always planned a fourth film in the franchise, but the project remained in development hell for nearly 30 years.
Inspired by the 1970’s oil crisis, in which oil prices skyrocketed, affecting millions of Australians in particular, “Mad Max” (and its immediate sequels “The Road Warrior” and “Beyond Thunderdome,”) follows Max, a lawman, and his travels through a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland, where he encounters vicious motorcycle gangs, mutants, vengeance and driving. In 1979, Australian filmmaker George Miller released his feature-film debut: a dystopian action thriller entitled “Mad Max.” The film starred Mel Gibson as Max, a role that would launch the then 23-year-old actor into stardom.
