In a post-apocalyptic wasteland, a woman rebels against a tyrannical ruler in search for her homeland with the aid of a group of female prisoners, a psychotic worshiper, and a drifter named Max.
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

The Coma-Doof Warrior's double-neck guitar, which is a playable instrument weighed 60 kgs and had to be held up with bungie ropes. The lower neck is a bass guitar neck. Both headstocks have automotive spark plugs as tuning keys. It shot actual flames from a valve behind the upper headstock. The flamethrower controller is the whammy bar (though during close-up shots the whammy bar isn't screwed in). A piece of a Datsun 1600 chassis hangs below the guitar body. A guitar pedal is chained to Coma's waist. It appears charred beyond recognition, though the shape and design resembles a generic BOSS four-knob pedal. See more »
Goofs
Furiosa talks about a "160 day" ride across the salt desert, on their fully loaded motorcycles. This makes no sense; as (a) they simply couldn't carry enough gasoline for that length of time - motorcycles get 30-50mpg, and the bikes couldn't possibly carry more than 50 gallons each, (b) they couldn't carry enough water for that period of time (humans require about a half gallon per day), and, most importantly, (c) no desert on earth is anywhere near that possible distance. In fact, presuming that they could indeed ride the entire time, a 160-day ride across a hard-surface desert (600 miles/day) is sufficient to circle earth almost FOUR TIMES. A 160 day WALK at a relatively easy pace (10 hours/day, 3mph) will still cover a distance almost TWICE the length of Australia, and would be sufficient to travel from Korea to Germany across the breadth of Asia.

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.

Alternate Versions
A "PG-13" version was created, but only screened for American test-audiences. Positive feedback towards the "R-rated" version convinced Warner Bros to release it, theatrically. See more »
Movie about cars going really fast, but every shot looks like great concept art, and the characters all have great development. Most of the CGI is great, but some is shoddy. I don't really care because it works with the cartoony fun of the action. Don't listen to the soundtrack while driving.
