Mad Max: Fury Road takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where the world is a desert. Max is captured by one of the scavenger group known as the War Boys, effectively a cult/tyranny where the leader has control over the population through restricting water. It is a bleak world, however, they have some decked out crazy vehicles built for combat. Max is unwittingly thrown into a plot where Furiosa, one of the imperators, goes rogue and tries to escape with the tyrant's wives who only exist for bear children. What ensues is an hour and a half worth of vehicle combat, explosions, crazy stunts and brutal deaths. Surprisingly, even through all these set pieces, you grow attached to the characters so that each pain, each death impacts you. It is a fun and engaging film even though the plot takes a backseat at times.
