Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome
Hold out for Mad Max. This is his greatest adventure.
Directed by George Miller, George Ogilvie
Produced by Kennedy Miller Productions
A visually baroque post-apocalyptic action spectacle that balances brutal arena combat with a redemptive mission to save children, driven by kinetic energy and surreal desert imagery.
Mad Max becomes a pawn in a decadent oasis of a technological society, and when exiled, becomes the deliverer of a colony of children.
