[projekktor id=’18930′]

Mad Max: Fury Road is a post-apocalyptic action film from director George Miller (Mad Max, Babe: Pig in the City). It’s the first movie in Miller’s Mad Max franchise in 30 years, the last being 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. Mel Gibson doesn’t return to the title role however; Tom Hardy steps in to play the road warrior this time around. Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Zoë Kravitz also star.

Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by Imperator Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.

“I think of action movies as a kind of visual music, and ‘Fury Road’ is somewhere between a wild rock concert and an opera,” explains Miller, making him the film’s maestro. “I want to sweep the audience out of their seats and into an intense, rambunctious ride, and along the way you get to know who these characters are and the events that led up to this story.”

Mad Max: Fury Road is rated 14A.
