In 1979, George Miller first introduced audiences to Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson), a police officer working for the Main Force Patrol (MFP) in a dystopian, near-future Australia. After the tragic murder of his family by a biker gang, Max snaps and takes the law into his own hands, seeking vengeance against those who crossed him. Made for under $400,000, “Mad Max” grossed $100 million, kicking off one of the best action franchises ever.
Miller returns to the Wasteland in “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” a prequel to 2015’s “Fury Road.” Early reviews from Cannes have been positive, with “Furiosa” registering 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. Like its predecessors, “Furiosa” has been praised for its technical prowess, proving that no one stages action scenes and chase sequences quite like Miller. With the addition of “Furiosa,” there have been five “Mad Max” movies. We ranked them below, from "worst" to first.
