Director George Miller returns to the apocalyptic world he first created more than 30 years ago. This time around, Tom Hardy (Inception, The Dark Knight Rises) plays Max, who helps Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) in a race to escape cult leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and return Furiosa to her homeland.
