Before it became a sprawling mythos, the world of Mad Max began as a down-and-dirty Australian road revenge picture. In the ravaged near-future, savage motorcycle gangs rule the road, laughing in the face of a police force hell-bent on stopping them, but when the bikers brutalize “Mad” Max Rockatansky’s best friend and family, they leave him only one thing to live for… revenge!

In Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior George Miller returned to the wasteland with more style, a bigger budget, and just as much bonkers Aussie exploitation energy. Max, now reduced to scavenging for gasoline, finds a camp of settlers besieged by Lord Humungus. Now stranded, Max makes a simple deal - he’ll help them escape in exchange for fuel. Unfortunately for them, Humungus is more intelligent than he appears.

Never content to re-tread the same story, George Miller pushed the franchise in new stylistic and narrative directions for its third film. Max stumbles onto a desert city built on unbridled, cutthroat capitalism. A hopeless place where anything, even a human life, can be bartered. Caught in a power struggle between the city's two rulers, Max breaks the one inviolable rule of a city with no rules: he refuses to kill.

For the final installment of the franchise, Miller went epic, and fully embraced the Wasteland as a place of myth. As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
