Mad Max Fury

Fury comes three decades after the 1979 release of the first Mad Max movie starring Mel Gibson. This is the fourth movie in the franchise – Mad Max 2 and Mad Max Beyond

Thunderdome came after the original. George Miller, the man in charge of the first three, directs Fury.

In the post-apocalyptic world of Fury, Max quits the police force after the loss of his wife and son. In a desert landscape, part of a world without many of life’s necessities including hope and law, Max, who may be more lost than humanity, meets a woman, played by Charlize Theron, who is in desperate need of a lift.

Fans will be pleased to know the cars, motorbikes, evil and explosive chaos have all made it into the movie’s 21nd-century version. But in 2015, Gibson, who starred in 1979’s original, has been replaced by Englishman Tom Hardy (his recent film credits include

The Dark Night Rises and Locke). Zoe Kravitz, whose dad is musician Lenny, is also in the cast, as is Nicholas Hoult ( X-Men). Former world strongman contestant Nathan Jones plays the intriguing Rictus Erectus.
