As the world fell, young Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of the great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). Sweeping through the Wasteland they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two tyrants war for dominance, the renegade warrior Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.

Mad Max (1979), Mad Max II: The Challenge (1981), Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024): in five episodes and in almost five decades, George Miller has created a cathartic mythology. Mad Max is a chronicle of societal and environmental collapse, playing with genre codes to question these themes, initially visionary and now cruelly topical. Originally filmed in the Australian Outback, this revisited "Western on wheels" describes a dystopian world where speed and movement are just as synonymous with life energy as with death as a result of resource depletion, offering the viewer a dose of adrenaline rarely equalled on the big screen.
