Saga Mad Max

Mad Max is an Australian post-apocalyptic action multi-media franchise created by George Miller and Byron Kennedy. It began in 1979 with 'Mad Max', and was followed by three films: 'Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior' (1981), 'Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome' (1985) and 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015). Mel Gibson starred in the first three films and Tom Hardy took over the titular role in the fourth one. The series follows the adventures of Max Rockatansky, a police officer of the Main Force Patrol in a future Australia whose civilization is rapidly collapsing due to war and critical resource shortages. When his wife and child are murdered by a vicious biker gang, Max kills them in revenge and becomes a drifting loner. As Australia degenerates further into barbarity, this skilled warrior of the road finds himself helping pockets of civilization initially for his own self-interest, but his motives always drift into more idealistic ones.
