In the near future, nations will deplete all natural resources, and the world will be in a natural, financial and food crisis. Australia becomes the scene of an apocalyptic war, with marauding motorcycle gangs on the roads fighting for every drop of petrol. Max Rokatansky is a good cop in the Main Force, still trying to keep society in order. But when his wife and child are murdered by a gang, Max loses his cool and goes after the killers relentlessly. In his directorial debut, George Miller combines his passion for silent cinema, especially Buster Keaton's action scenes, with the local machine culture and his experience as a doctor in a hospital reception. In 2024, a new installment, "Furiosa: The Mad Max Saga", was released.
