Mad Max
“The maximum force of the future.”
Director
George Miller
Screenplay
James McCausland, George Miller
On the scorched highways of a decaying near-future, a savage motorcycle gang terrorizes the outback, tearing up the roads and brutalizing anyone in their path while an overwhelmed police force struggles to hold the line. When the marauders murder those closest to one idealistic patrolman, he abandons the badge and becomes a merciless instrument of vengeance behind the wheel. George Miller's ferocious, low-budget debut roars with visceral vehicular carnage and lean, apocalyptic dread, launching a landmark dystopian franchise and heralding a raw new voice in genre filmmaking from the Australian desert.
