Synopsis: Mad Max: Fury Road is the fourth film of George Miller’s Road Warrior/Mad Max franchise co-written and directed by Miller. The post-apocalyptic action film is set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and most everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world of fire and blood 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.
Initially conceived shortly after Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, George Miller’s Mad Max: Fury Road or Mad Max 4 failed to launch on multiple occasions.
The initial idea
The idea for the next installment of Max’s adventures came to Miller in 1987 [3]when he was crossing the street:
| “ | “Could we make a film which is almost a continuous chase and how much can the audience apprehend from that story in terms of character, relationships, the world, the backstory and so on? And that the McGuffin, the thing that everyone’s in conflict over should be human because to some extent or another we’re all commodities in the world.” | ” |
