Overview
About the Film
Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action film directed by George Miller, the fourth installment in his Mad Max franchise that began in 1979. The film stars Tom Hardy as Max Rockatansky and Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, a war captain who defects from the tyrannical cult leader Immortan Joe to smuggle his five captive wives to freedom across a hostile wasteland. What follows is essentially one extended chase sequence across the desert, with Max reluctantly joining Furiosa's rebellion.
Mad Max: Fury Road is widely considered one of the greatest action films ever made, remarkable for the fact that the vast majority of its spectacular stunts were performed practically rather than with computer-generated effects. The film spent over 15 years in development, surviving multiple casting changes, budget disputes, and a relocation from the Australian Outback to the Namibian desert due to unexpected rainfall that turned the original location green. Fury Road won six Academy Awards from ten nominations — more than any other film that year — including editing, costume design, and production design.
Charlize Theron's performance as the one-armed Furiosa became a feminist icon, and the film's exploration of bodily autonomy and resistance against patriarchal control resonated powerfully with audiences worldwide. The film earned $380 million on a $150 million budget.
