An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Written by
Production
It was speculated that Tom Hardy's Max in this film is The Feral Kid (Emil Minty) from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981) and that when Feral Kid grew to manhood, he abandoned his identity was The Feral Kid and modeled his new persona after the original Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson) and that he build his V8 Interceptor out of spare parts from other vehicles. The Feral Kid stated that he never saw the Mel Gibson Max ever again and that he became the leader of the great Northern tribe. But if so, The Feral Kid may had lied, when telling the story about meeting The Road Warrior as a boy. See more »

Quotes
[first lines]
Max Rockatansky:
[Narrating]
My name is Max. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a cop. A road warrior searching for a righteous cause. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

Great film, so fast-paced it makes every other film out there look slow and old-fashioned. Wonderful to see George Miller back on the Australian road, where he belongs. Charlize Theron is great, Tom Hardy is not bad, but the stunts are really where the film shines. It's hard to think of a better action road movie. It has all the intensity and perversity of the MAD MAX and THE ROAD WARRIOR, but amped up to new heights of craziness. Miller is the real star of the film -- in some ways technology seems to have finally caught up with his early hyperactive camera style, and he takes full advantage of the ability to move wherever he wants, however he wants.
