From director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary Mad Max franchise, comes 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.
Tom Hardy (The Dark Knight Rises) stars in the title role in Mad Max: Fury Road—the fourth in the franchise’s history. Oscar winner Charlize Theron (Monster, Prometheus) stars as the Imperator, Furiosa. The film also stars Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: Days of Future Past) as Nux; Hugh Keays-Byrne (Mad Max, Sleeping Beauty) as Immortan Joe; and Nathan Jones (Conan the Barbarian) as Rictus Erectus. Collectively known as The Wives, Zoë Kravitz (Divergent) plays Toast, Riley Keough (Magic Mike) is Capable, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (Transformers: Dark of the Moon)
is Splendid, and supermodel Abbey Lee is The Dag, and Courtney Eaton is
Fragile. Also featured in the movie are Josh Helman as Slit, Jennifer
Hagan as Miss Giddy, and singer/songwriter/performer iOTA as Coma-Doof
Warrior.
The cast is rounded out by well-known Australian actors John Howard
and Richard Carter, supermodel Megan Gale, Angus Sampson, Joy Smithers,
Gillian Jones, Melissa Jaffer and Melita Jurisic. Oscar-winning
filmmaker George Miller (Happy Feet) is directing the film from
a screenplay he wrote with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris. Miller
is also producing the film, along with longtime producing partner, Oscar
nominee Doug Mitchell (Babe, Happy Feet), and P.J. Voeten. Iain Smith, Graham Burke and Bruce Berman serve as executive producers.
