George Miller's wasteland, from 1979 to Furiosa.

The films, in release order
- 1
Mad Max 1979George Miller’s road thriller is worth an evening for its frightening chases and Mel Gibson’s presence. The dialogue is crude and the acting uneven, but the cars feel heavy enough to do lasting damage.Fi1m 78 - 2
Mad Max 2 1981*Mad Max 2* is a superb action film, with George Miller making a thin story hurtle through precisely staged vehicle combat. The people get less attention, and the brutality will put some off.Fi1m 88 - 3
Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome 1985The third Mad Max is the handsomest and the softest of the series. Bartertown and its Thunderdome are as good as anything the films have done and Tina Turner is a proper villain; then the story walks out into the desert and loses its nerve.Fi1m 65 - 4
Mad Max: Fury Road 2015George Miller’s *Mad Max: Fury Road* is an exhilarating action film whose desert chase stays clear even at its most frantic. Charlize Theron gives it purpose, though several supporting characters deserve more attention.Fi1m 88 - 5
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga 2024George Miller goes back fifteen years before *Fury Road* to explain a woman who needed no explaining, and does it with real invention and a good deal of digital sand. Taylor-Joy is fierce, Hemsworth talks too much, and the middle hour is as good as the series gets.Fi1m 72
