Directed by George Miller, the Academy Award-winning visionary behind the original Mad Max films, this epic promises a heart-pounding return to the chaotic Wasteland.

A Glimpse into Furiosa’s Origins

The latest masterpiece from Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures dives deep into the backstory of Furiosa, the fierce character first introduced in Mad Max: Fury Road.

As she traverses this desolate landscape, Furiosa encounters the Citadel, ruled by the ruthless Immortan Joe.

In this chaotic world, two tyrants – Dementus and Immortan Joe – battle for supremacy. Amidst this power struggle, Furiosa’s quest is not just about survival. It’s a poignant journey to reclaim her lost home, a path filled with danger, intrigue, and relentless determination.
