Story Synopsis:
Sequel to Mad Max, this full-throttle futuristic action thriller features Gibson as the legendary lone heroic warrior who leads a nomadic life in a post-nuclear age. Not only is he haunted by the tragic memories of his family, but he is continually pitted against evil and vulgar barbarians who rape and pillage the region. Fueled by his hatred for these murderous villains, Max’s resilience surfaces in his determination to seek revenge for his family and his honor—making “Mad Max” one of the most awesome anti-heroes of all time.
