About the film

“Mad Max: Fury Road,” a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky. 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 an elite 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.

Oscar-winning filmmaker George Miller (“Happy Feet” ) directed the film from a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller also produced the film, along with his longtime producing partner, Oscar nominee Doug Mitchell (“Babe,” “Happy Feet” ), and P.J. Voeten. Iain Smith, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes creative team included Oscar-winning director of photography John Seale (“ The English Patient” ), production designer Colin Gibson (“ Babe” ), editor Margaret Sixel (“ Happy Feet” ), Oscar-winning costume designer Jenny Beavan (“A Room with a View” ), action unit director and stunt coordinator Guy Norris (“Australia” ), and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt (“Knowing” ).
