Last we saw ‘Mad’ Max Rockantansky he was still wandering
alone in the desert ruins of our world, and when we finally
catch up with him again, that’s where we find him. It isn't before long that he’s captured by a cult called The War Boys, whose leader, Immortan Joe, realizes that his best driver Imperator Furiousa is
escaping with all of his ‘treasures’; a set of mutation free and beautiful
women in a war rig (a supercharged and heavily armored tanker). Max is literally
dragged into the efforts to recapture them by a War Boy called Nux, a true
believer and great driver himself, who is sick and low on blood. With Max
strapped to the front of his car acting as his blood bag, the chase begins.
It’s been 30 years since George Miller last made a Mad Max movie.
That movie remains the weakest link in the franchise, and is part of why it’s
taken so long for there to be another, but other reasons include terrorist attacks
and freak weather. If Miller hadn't been so driven to make this movie then it definitely wouldn't have been made. In fact he’s spent over 15 years trying to make Fury
Road, and since it was originally intended to start shooting way back in 2001, it’s a
project I've been looking forward to (for a very long time!)
