The Road Warrior

•
1h 35m
Directed by George Miller • 1981 • Australia
Starring Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Michael Preston
George Miller’s acclaimed sequel to his postapocalyptic action classic MAD MAX delivers even more audacious, adrenaline-rush mayhem. Mel Gibson returns in the role that made him an international superstar as Max, a former cop reduced to scavenging for gasoline—the decaying world’s most prized commodity—as he cruises the barren, dystopian outback along highways crawling with bandits. The climax—a wild chase involving a massive speeding oil tanker—stands as one of the franchise’s most exhilarating sequences.
