Mad Max

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.

Left for dead in the unforgiving deserts of post-apocalyptic Australia after defeating Lord Humungus' barbarian bikers in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981), instead, former Main Force Patrol officer Max Rockatansky happens upon Bartertown: a remote market-town outpost in the middle of the dry Wasteland and the realm of the autocratic Queen Aunty Entity. But there, a lethal challenge awaits Max in The Thunderdome, the stronghold's combat arena. As Max finds himself once again stranded in the vast wilderness, he discovers the peaceful haven of The Lost Tribe: a community of marooned children who survive on their own, waiting for a hero. However, is the lone warrior indeed their saviour?

After eradicating Night Rider's followers in Mad Max (1979), former patrolman Max Rockatansky now scavenges for food and precious petrol on the deserted highways of an energy-starved Australia. Then, Max stumbles upon a small oil refinery in the scorched wilderness; however, there's a catch: the community of survivors is under siege by brutal biker warlord Lord Humungus and his barbarian marauders. Now, to get his hands on as much gas as he can carry, Mad Max will have to provide the defenceless residents with a powerful truck. Using this method, they can transport gasoline to safety. Of course, this is easier said than done. Is the Road Warrior up to the task?

Taking place in a dystopian Australia in the near future, Mad Max tells the story of a highway patrolman cruising the squalid back roads that have become the breeding ground of criminals foraging for gasoline and scraps. After some grisly events at the hands of a motorcycle gang, Max sets out across the barren wastelands in search of revenge.
