Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action thriller[6] film directed, produced, and co-written by George Miller, and the fourth film of Miller's Mad Max franchise. The first film of the franchise in 30 years, Fury Road stars Tom Hardy as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, making it also the first Mad Max film not to feature Mel Gibson in the title role. The film also stars Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult.

The film had its world premiere on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. It began wide theatrical release on 14 May 2015, including an out-of-competition screening at the 68th Cannes Film Festival. The film received significant acclaim; critics praised the film for its acting, screenplay, action sequences, stunts, and direction.

Plot

In the distant future the world is a desert wasteland and civilization has collapsed. Max (Tom Hardy), a survivor in Australia, is captured by the War Boys, the army of tyrannical cult leader King Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne). Designated a universal blood donor, Max is imprisoned and used as a "blood bag" for the sick War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Meanwhile, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) drives her heavily-armored War Rig to collect gasoline. Furiosa begins driving off route, alerting Joe who realizes that his Five Wives — women specially selected for breeding — are gone. Joe leads his entire War Boy army in pursuit of Furiosa, calling on the aid of nearby Gas Town and the Bullet Farm.

Nux joins the army with Max strapped to the hood of his car, to continue supplying blood. A battle ensues between the Rig and Joe's forces. Furiosa drives into an approaching sand storm evading her pursuers, except Nux, who attempts to sacrifice himself to destroy the Rig; Max escapes and restrains Nux, but the car is destroyed by the Rig. Waking up after the storm, Max sees Furiosa nearby repairing her Rig, accompanied by the Wives: Angharad, Capable, Cheedo, Toast, and the Dag. Max steals the Rig, but its kill-switch disables the truck. Max reluctantly agrees to let Furiosa and the Wives accompany him, while Nux returns to Joe.

Furiosa drives through Biker gang territory into a narrow canyon, having agreed to exchange gasoline for passage. However, Joe's forces are close behind, and Furiosa flees while the Bikers detonate the canyon walls to block Joe's path. Max and Furiosa fend off the pursuing Bikers but Joe's vehicle evades the blockade and assaults the Rig. Nux boards the Rig while Joe attempts to shoot Furiosa. Angharad, Joe's heavily pregnant wife, shields Furiosa, but falls from the Rig and is run over by Joe's car, killing her and his child. Furiosa explains to Max that they are escaping to the "Green Place", a location she remembers from her youth. Capable finds Nux, distraught that he contributed to the death of Joe's wife; she consoles him. At night, the heavy Rig gets caught in deep mud. Furiosa and Max slow Joe's forces with explosives, but Joe's ally, the Bullet Farmer, pursues the Rig. Nux helps free the Rig while Furiosa shoots and blinds the Bullet Farmer. He retaliates with machine gun fire and explosives. Max wanders into the dark to confront the Bullet Farmer, returning to the Rig with guns and ammunition.

As dawn breaks, the Rig travels through swampland and desert, eventually coming across a naked woman. Max identifies it as a trap, but Furiosa leaves the Rig and states her former clan affiliation. The woman summons her group who realize that Furiosa is a member of their clan, kidnapped with her mother when she was a child. Furiosa is distraught to learn that the swamp land they passed was the Green Place, which is now uninhabitable. The group agree to ride motorbikes across the immense salt flats in the hope of finding somewhere to live. Max chooses to stay behind, but after seeing visions of his dead daughter, he convinces them to return to the Citadel, which has ample water and greenery that Joe keeps for himself, and trap Joe and his army in the Biker's canyon.

The group begins the journey back to the Citadel, eventually encountering Joe. A battle is waged by the two sides, and Furiosa is gravely wounded. Joe positions his car in front of the Rig to slow it, while Max fights Joe's son Rictus. Toast is captured and put on Joe's car, but she distracts him, allowing Furiosa to hook Joe's mask to his car's rotating wheels, tearing his face off and killing him. Nux sacrifices himself by destroying the Rig, blocking the canyon, killing Rictus, and allowing Max, Furiosa, and the Wives to escape in Joe's car. Max transfuses his blood to Furiosa, to help her survive her injuries.

At the Citadel, Joe's citizens are overjoyed at the sight of Joe's corpse. Furiosa and the Wives are raised up on a lift by the child War Boys, but Max stays behind. He and Furiosa share a glance of acknowledgment before Max disappears into the crowd.

Cast

Production

Development

Plans for the fourth film of the Mad Max series hit financial difficulties and the project spent several years in "development hell".[7] The idea of a fourth installment occurred to Miller in August 1998 when he was walking in an intersection in Los Angeles.[8] About a year later, while travelling from Los Angeles to Australia, the idea coalesced. Miller conceived of a story where "violent marauders were fighting, not for oil or for material goods, but for human beings."[8] The movie was all set to shoot in 2001 through 20th Century Fox, but was postponed due to the collapse of the World Trade Center that same year.[9] "The American dollar collapsed against the Australian dollar, and our budget ballooned," Miller said that he "had to move on to Happy Feet, because there was a small window when that was ready." Mel Gibson, who starred in the original three previous films was also set to reprise his role as the lead character. However, the infamous incidents that followed the years didn't permit him to.[8] George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.[10] Although the project was given the green light for a US$100 million budget to begin filming in Australia in May 2003, Mad Max 4 entered hiatus due to security concerns related to trying to film in Namibia because the United States and many other countries had tightened travel and shipping restrictions.[11] With the outbreak of the Iraq War, Mad Max 4 was abandoned as it was considered a potentially politically sensitive film. Although Mel Gibson had been cast to return as Max, he lost interest after production was cancelled.[11]

Director George Miller announced in 2003 that a script had been written for a fourth film, and that pre-production was in the early stages.

In November 2006, Miller stated that he intended to make Fury Road, and considered doing the film without Gibson: "There's a real hope. The last thing I wanted to do is another Mad Max, but this script came along, and I'm completely carried away with it."[12][13] The film's screenplay was co-written with cult British comic creator Brendan McCarthy, who also designed many of the new characters and vehicles.[14] Miller again confirmed his intention to make another Mad Max at the 2007 Aurora film maker initiative. However, he stated that he thought Mel Gibson would not be interested in the film because of his age.[15][16] Heath Ledger was reportedly considered for the lead before he died from combined drug intoxication in 2008.[8] On 5 March 2009, it was announced that an R-rated 3D animated feature film was in pre-production and would be taking much of the plot from Fury Road,[17] although Mel Gibson would not be in the film and Miller was looking for a "different route", a "renaissance" of the franchise.[17] Miller cited the film Akira as an inspiration for what he wanted to do with the franchise. George Miller was also developing an action-adventure tie-in video game based on the fourth film, along with God of War II video game designer Cory Barlog. Both projects were expected to take two to two-and-a-half years, according to Miller, with a release date of either 2011 or 2012. The Fury Road film was going to be produced at Dr. D Studios, a digital art studios founded in 2008 by George Miller and Doug Mitchell.[17]

On 18 May 2009, it was reported that location scouting was underway for Mad Max 4.[18] After exploring the possibility of an animated 3D film, George Miller decided instead to shoot a 3D live action film, and at this point plans to make the animated film were immediately dropped.[18] By this time, production had moved to Warner Bros.[9] An Australian press said in May 2009: "MAD [sic] Max is revving up for a long-awaited return to the big screen, almost 25 years after Tina Turner ran Mel Gibson out of Bartertown. Director George Miller is gearing up to shoot the fourth film in the ground-breaking Aussie road warrior franchise, industry sources say. Scouting for locations is under way for the movie, which many thought would never get off the ground. It could go into production later this year."[19]

In October 2009, Miller announced that that filming of Fury Road would commence at Broken Hill, New South Wales in early 2011, ending years of speculation.[20] This announcement attracted widespread media attention in Australia, with speculation at that time on whether Mel Gibson would return as Max.[21] That same month, British actor Tom Hardy was in negotiations to take the lead role of Max, while it was also announced that Charlize Theron would also play a major role in the film.[22] In June 2010, Hardy (who was just six weeks old when the orginal Mad Max began shooting) announced on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross that he would play the title role in a new version of Mad Max.[23][8] In July 2010, Miller announced plans to shoot two Mad Max films back-to-back, entitled Mad Max: Fury Road and Mad Max: Furiosa.[24] In November 2011, filming was moved from Broken Hill to Namibia, after unexpected heavy rains turned the desert there into a lush landscape of wildflowers, inappropriate for the look of the movie.[25]

In a July 2014 interview at Comic-Con, Miller said he designed the film in storyboard form before writing the screenplay, working with five storyboard artists. It came out as about 3,500 panels, almost the same number of shots as in the finished film. He wanted the film to be almost a continuous chase, with relatively little dialogue, and to have the visuals come first.[26] Paraphrasing Hitchcock, Miller said that he wanted the film to be understood in Japan without the use of subtitles.[27]

Filming

Principal photography began in July 2012 in Namibia.[28] Filming also took place at Potts Hill and Penrith Lakes in Western Sydney.[29] In October 2012, The Hollywood Reporter reported that Warner Bros. sent an executive to keep the production on track.[30] The filming wrapped on 17 December 2012[31] and lasted for 120 days.[9] In February 2013, a leaked draft from the Namibian Coast Conservation and Management group accused the producers of damaging parts of the Namib Desert, endangering a number of plant and animal species.[32][33] However, the Namibia Film Commission said it had "no reservations" after visiting the set during production. It disputed claims reported in the media, calling the accusations "unjust rhetoric".[34] In September 2013, it was announced that the film would undergo reshoots in November 2013.[35]

Cinematographer John Seale, who came out of retirement to shoot Fury Road,[36] outfitted his camera crew with six Arri Alexa Pluses and four Alexa Ms, as well as a number of Canon EOS 5Ds and Olympus PEN E-P5s that were used as crash cams for the action sequences.[37][38]

In July 2014, director George Miller described the film as "a very simple allegory, almost a western on wheels".[39] Miller claimed that 90% of the effects were practical.[40] Second unit director and supervising stunt coordinator Guy Norris was in charge of over 150 stunt performers, which included Cirque du Soleil performers and Olympic athletes.[41][36]

Post-production

The lead visual effects company for Mad Max: Fury Road was Iloura, who delivered more than 1,500 effects shots for the film.[42] Additional visual effects studios that worked on the film include Method Studios, Stereo D, 4DMax, BlackGinger, The Third Floor, and Dr. D Studios.[43][44] The film contains about 2,700 cuts of its entire running length, which is equivalent to 22.5 cuts per minute compared The Road Warrior's 1,200 cuts of its 90-minute running time equivalent to 13.33 cuts per minute.[45] The frame rate was also manipulated to achieve a desired effect. "Something like 50 or 60 percent of the film is not running at 24 frames a second, which is the traditional frame rate," said Seale. "It'll be running below 24 frames because George, if he couldn't understand what was happening in the shot, he slowed it down until you could. Or if it was too well understood, he'd shorten it or he'd speed it up back towards 24. His manipulation of every shot in that movie is intense."[46]

Weta Digital was originally involved with the film when it was scheduled for a 2012 release.[47] The company was to be handling visual effects, conceptual designs, specialty make-up effects, and costume designs until production was postponed from its November 2010 start date.[48]

Music

Main article: Mad Max: Fury Road (soundtrack)

The musical score for Mad Max: Fury Road was composed by Junkie XL.[49] Prior to Junkie XL's involvement, John Powell and Marco Beltrami were attached at separate times to score the film.[50][51] After hearing Junkie XL's score for 300: Rise of an Empire,[52] Miller met with the composer in Sydney. "I got very inspired and started writing pieces of music for scenes," said Junkie XL. "The initial main themes were written in the four weeks after that first meeting and those themes never changed."[53] A soundtrack album was released by WaterTower Music on 12 May 2015.[54]

Release

Mad Max: Fury Road had its world premiere on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles.[55] On 14 May 2015, it will screen out-of-competition at the 68th Cannes Film Festival,[56] and will be released in theaters on 15 May 2015.[57] Leading up its release, the film was digitally re-mastered into the IMAX 3D format. It will be released into IMAX theaters in select international territories on 13 May 2015.[58]

Beginning 20 May 2015, Vertigo will release three comic book prequels, one per month, that detail the backstory for a character in the film. A hardcover collection of art inspired by the film will be released 6 May 2015.[59]

Reception

Box office

As of May 15, 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road has grossed $16.8 million in North America and $10.4 million in other territories for a worldwide total of $27.2 million, against a budget of $150 million.[5]

In the United States and Canada, Mad Max: Fury Road opened simultaneously with Pitch Perfect 2.[60] It opened Friday, May 15, 2015, across 3,702 theaters, and earned $16.77 million.[61] It made $3.7 million from Thursday night showings from 3,000 theaters.[62][63]

Outside North America, it opened Thursday on 12,000 screen in 48 countries, earning $10.4 million.[64] It opened in 20 more countries on May 15, earning $14.2 million from 16,700 screens in 68 countries, for a two day total of $24.6 million.[65]

Critical response

On the review aggregator website, Rotten Tomatoes, the film is "Certified Fresh" with a 98% approval rating and an average score of 8.8/10 based on 216 reviews. The site's consensus reads, "With exhilarating action and a surprising amount of narrative heft, Mad Max: Fury Road brings George Miller's post-apocalyptic franchise roaring vigorously back to life."[6] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 89 out of 100 based on 43 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[66]

Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film a full five stars and praised the film for its acting, screenplay, choreography, stunts, humor and direction calling the film a "spiritual sequel" and an "eruption of craziness."[67] Writing for The Guardian and awarding the film four stars out of five, Peter Bradshaw wrote, "Extravagantly deranged, ear-splittingly cacophonous, and entirely over the top, George Miller has revived his Mad Max punk-western franchise as a bizarre convoy chase action-thriller in the post-apocalyptic desert."[68] The New York Times wrote, "Miller has reminded us that blockbusters have the potential to not only be art, but radically visionary — even the fourth in a series. What a lovely day, indeed."[69] Scott Mendelson of Forbes gave the film 10/10 stars and wrote, "Mad Max: Fury Road is a remarkable and glorious motion picture, not just one of the great action movies of our time but also a great and timely film, period."[70] Alonso Duralde of The Wrap wrote, "In the same way that the original 1979 Mad Max was the Citizen Kane of gut-bucket Australian exploitation cinema, Mad Max: Fury Road may well be the Götterdämmerung of drive-in movies. It has its roots in the Western and the post-apocalyptic road-rage action saga [...], where Miller dares anyone else to follow in his tire treads."[71] IGN reviewer Scott Collura gave the film 9.2 out of 10, saying: "The over-the-top stunts and eccentric characters and designs are all hugely important to Fury Road, ... but it's the overriding sense of the film's uniqueness, its striving to be something more than just another action movie, that is most impressive."[72]

Sequels

Miller and McCarthy found during the writing process for Fury Road that they had enough story material for two additional scripts. One of these, entitled Mad Max: Furiosa, has already been completed, and Miller hopes to film it after the release of Fury Road.[73] In March 2015, during an interview with Esquire magazine, Hardy revealed that he was attached to star in four more Mad Max films following Fury Road.[74] In May 2015, Miller told Wired magazine, "Should [Mad Max: Fury Road] be successful, I’ve got two other stories to tell."[75]
