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
The breathing apparatus that Immortan Joe wears throughout the film is similar in shape and function to the mask Tom Hardy wore as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). The mask that Max wears during the first few scenes of the film is also reminiscent of this design. 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.

The Mel Gibson trilogy is a classic. It is set in a seemingly realistic world, though Thunderdome takes it to a stretch, but this movie is just absurd. I guess I'm a thinking man ( minored in film and media studies). Does it make any sense at all about the " mothers milk" or the most absurd thing- they live in a world with little gasoline but find it acceptable to build a massive chariot with enormous speakers that consume vast power- coupled with jets of fire that spew out of the guitar stage. This film should win a Razzie. If you grew up with the original Gibson realistic trilogy, this is a sham cash grab on the formerly good name of Mad Max. How much of a dullard to you have to be to think this is either a believable world or good filmmaking?
