An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Written by Production

First: Max stood alone, loathed other human beings or their company (wise man), took orders from nobody even a loaded gun pointing at his face. Nowhere, in the previous three movies, is there a single scene of Max obeying anybody except Tina Turner when they made a deal in Thunderdome. Max never rode with anybody, anywhere: Hello? He is the Road Warrior he doesn't ride B. Now, this is not a movie: a two hour chase with a stop over at We Hate Men old lady land is not plot or character development. Yes, two hours of non stop chasing in the middle of a desert bores anyone with a working cerebrum and an attention span above a lobotomized chimp. Now, Tina Turner with the aid of Master Blaster ran Bartertown. She did not put Max in the passenger seat where he sits wordlessly, like a retard, where she says,"What shall I call you, Oh, well when I say Fool, you come running." In the other three movies, if any character, of any gender said that to Max they would have had the top of their head blown clean off. Please, go watch the three movies, OK? You are embarrassing yourself. The entire movie is made up of clueless Max subordinated to Furiosa who: thinks, fights, shoots and is our protagonist, ignore the lying title. As another great reviewer wrote, they knew if they put Furiosa: Avenger Of Violated Women: hey, all the Divergent Zombies would have come but that is it.
Second: whenever any group of people, of a particular race or gender, paint themselves as the repository of saintliness and all others as evil: be assured, it is utter Crap. In the dreadful Dirty Dancing, all the rich are evil. In Braveheart, the English are all evil. Here, all the men except Furiosa's pet castrate Max, and little Chalky baldy are pure evil. Every woman is the embodiment of goodness that came right from Heaven in a beam of light. I love that desert scene: Yes, the other person is right, how long was she laying in the blistering sun before our saintly castrator arrived? You know, Idiosa Furiosa Castratus? Yes, they have a little birth mother epiphany right there in the desert, where are my Kleenex? Oh, good heavens, what men have done to these leather faced, badly acting saints? Where's The Sound Of Mucus? I was all wrong; there is something magical about Maria. My birth mother was a Cuisinart. Boo Hoo!
