An apocalyptic story 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 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.

Review from the comment
There are some movies that don't waste time and cut right to the chase. In Mad Max: Fury Road, that last part is meant in the literal sense. After a short opening turn of events, the film takes viewers on a chase of cinematic historic levels, with very few breaks once the race is on. While there isn't much dialogue, Hardy and Theron are great as the two bad asses leading the way on this thrill ride. Director George Miller puts together a canvas for the pair to splatter all shades of red resulting in a thing of real beauty. For adrenaline fans, it just doesn't get much better than this.

There isn't any other way to state this. George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road is probably the best action film in recent memory. It is literally that good. I'm elated that he got this film completed and was able to get it done for us to see, It is an absolute thing of beauty, and MUST be seen on the big screen to appreciate the massive scope and scale of the film. Fury Road also has some layers to it, and isn't your typical action piece. Trust me, go and see it now. You have to support things like this when they are made.
