Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian-American post-apocalyptic action film co-written, produced, and directed by George Miller. Miller collaborated with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris on the screenplay. The fourth installment and a reboot of the Mad Max franchise, it is a joint Australian-American venture produced by Kennedy Miller Mitchell, RatPac-Dune Entertainment, and Village Roadshow Pictures. The film is set in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland where petrol and water are scarce commodities. It follows Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy), who joins forces with Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to flee from cult leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and his army in an armoured tanker truck, leading to a lengthy road battle. The film also features Nicholas Hoult, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoƫ Kravitz, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton. Fury Road was in development hell for many years, with pre-production starting as early as 1997. Attempts to shoot the film in 2001 and 2003 were delayed due to the September 11 attacks and the Iraq War. In 2007, after focusing on Happy Feet, Miller decided to pursue it again. He briefly considered producing it as a computer-animated film but abandoned it in favour of live-action. In 2009, Miller announced that filming would begin in early 2011. Hardy was cast as Max in June 2010, with production planned to begin that November. Principal photography was delayed several more times before beginning in July 2012. The film wrapped in December 2012, although additional footage was shot in November 2013. The world premiere was on 7 May 2015 at the TCL Chinese Theatre. It began a worldwide theatrical release on 14 May 2015, including an out-of-competition screening at the 68th Cannes Film Festival, in 2D, 3D, IMAX 3D, and 4DX. It has grossed over $378 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the Mad Max franchise. The film was ranked by many critics as the best film of 2015, and is considered one of the greatest action films of all time and one of the greatest films of the 21st century, widely praised for its direction, screenplay, action sequences, and ensemble cast. Fury Road won multiple critical and guild awards, and received ten Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won six: Costume Design, Production Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Film Editing, Sound Editing, and Sound Mixing.

The Future Belongs to the Mad.
What a lovely day.

[Max proposes turning back and claiming the Citadel]

The Vuvalini:
What's there to find at the Citadel?

Max:
Green.

Toast:
And water. There's a ridiculous amount of clear water. And a lot of crops.

The Dag:
It's got everything you need, as long as you're not afraid of heights.

Keeper of the Seeds:
Where does the water come from?

Toast:
[regarding Immortan Joe] He pumps it up from deep within the earth. He calls it "Aqua Cola" and claims it all for himself.

The Dag:
And because he owns it, he owns all of us.

Keeper of the Seeds:
I don't like him already.

The Valkyrie:
It'll take two weeks to skirt the wall of mountains.

Max:
No. I suggest we go back the same way we came. Through the canyon.

Toast:
[after a pause] It's open - we know that, right? He brought all his war parties through.

Max:
So we take the War Rig and charge it right through the middle of them. We can decouple the tanker at the pass, shut it off behind us.

Keeper of the Seeds:
[she and the Dag make the same gesture] Kaboom!

Imperator Furiosa:
And how exactly do we take the Citadel, assuming we're still alive by then?

Toast:
If we can block the pass, it'll be easy. All that's left are his War Pups, and War Boys too sick to fight.

Capable:
And we'll be with Nux. He's a War Boy. He'll be bringing us home, bringing back what's stolen, as he's meant to.

[Everyone turns to look at Nux]

Nux:
Yeah... feels like hope.

Keeper of the Seeds:
I like this plan... we could start again, just like the old days!

Max:
Look, it'll be a hard day. [points to the horizon] But I guarantee you that a hundred and sixty days ride that way... there's nothing but salt. [points back] At least that way we might be able to... together... come across some kind of redemption.

[He holds out his hand. After a pause, Furiosa takes it and clasps tight]
