Years after the collapse of civilization, the tyrannical Immortan Joe enslaves apocalypse survivors inside the desert fortress the Citadel. When the warrior Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) leads the despot's five wives in a daring escape, she forges an alliance with Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), a loner and former captive. Fortified in the massive, armored truck the War Rig, they try to outrun the ruthless warlord and his henchmen in a deadly high-speed chase through the Wasteland.

“In our new century, the best action cinema has been tonally inventive, visually innovative and color coded. The very best action film of our times was all of these: George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road, an explosively inventive update of his steampunk Mad Max films. An eco-disaster means that everything – fuel, blood, morality – is scarce.  Everything is hand made from junk in this artisanal epic. Backgrounds were added in CGI and safety lines removed in post-production, but the action itself was real.  The crashes, the dust, the explosions were all real. In the era of computerized fight scenes, Miller said “None of it." Defied the laws of physics. We felt the velocity, the physicality. It seemed more elemental, even more part of The Story of Film. A movie with little dialogue, it did that traditional thing – used action to reveal character.  How someone copes.  What they need.” – Mark Cousins
