Description of this Max Max Poster
Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film directed by George Miller and produced by Byron Kennedy. Mel Gibson plays "Mad" Max Rockatansky, a police officer turned vigilante in a near-future Australia in the midst of societal collapse. Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Tim Burns and Roger Ward also star. James McCausland and Miller wrote the screenplay from a story by Miller and Kennedy.
Principal photography for Mad Max took place in and around Melbourne and lasted six weeks. The film received mixed reception upon its release in April 1979, although it won four AACTA Awards. Filmed on a budget of A$400,000, it grossed over US$100 million worldwide and set a Guinness Record for the highest-grossing film. The success of Mad Max has been credited [by whom?] with further opening the global market to Australian New Wave films.
The film became the first in the Mad Max series, which spawned three sequels: Mad Max 2 (1981), Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and Fury Road (2015). In 2020, a fifth film, titled Furiosa, was announced.
In a near-future dystopian Australia, facing a breakdown of civil order primarily due to a widespread oil shortage, crazed motorcycle gang member Crawford "Nightrider" Montazano kills a rookie Hand officer. Force Patrol (MFP), one of the last remaining law enforcement agencies, and flees with his girlfriend in the deceased officer's Pursuit Special. Nightrider manages to escape the MFP until Max Rockatansky, one of the organization's best pursuers, manages to distract him and lead him to a roadblock, which causes an accident that kills Nightrider and his little one. friend.
At the MFP garage, Max is presented with his new police car: a black Pursuit Special with a supercharged V8 engine, specially built for the occasion. A conversation between Max's superior, Captain Fred "Fifi" Macaffee, and Police Commissioner Labatouche reveals that the Pursuit Special has been authorized to bribe Max, who is beginning to tire of police work, to stay in the police.
The Nightrider biker gang, led by Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti, rampages through a town, vandalizing property, stealing fuel, and terrorizing the population. A young couple tries to escape, but the gang destroys their car and rapes them. Max and his colleague Jim "Goose" Rains arrest Toecutter's young protégé, Johnny the Boy, at the scene. No witnesses appear in court and Johnny is deemed mentally unfit to stand trial. Despite Goose's furious objections, he is released into Bubba's custody.
While Goose goes to a city nightclub that evening, Johnny sabotages his police motorcycle, causing it to crash at high speed the next day and run Goose off the road. Stunned, but unhurt, Goose borrows a utility vehicle to take his motorcycle back to the MFP headquarters. On the way, Johnny throws a brake drum through his windshield, and he falls again. Toecutter tricks, then forces, a reluctant Johnny into throwing a match into the wrecked SUV, burning Goose alive.
After seeing Goose's charred body in the hospital, Max informs Fifi that he is resigning from the MFP to save what remains of his sanity. Fifi convinces him to take some time to think, and Max sets off on a trip in his van with his wife, Jessie, and infant son, "Sprog" (Australian slang for child). When they stop to repair the spare tire, Jessie takes Sprog to get ice cream and is attacked by Toecutter and his gang. She escapes and the family takes refuge in an isolated farm owned by an elderly friend, May Swaisey. The gang follows Jessie and chases her into the woods, and they capture Sprog while Max goes looking for them. May helps Jessie free the boy and the trio escape in the van, but it soon breaks down. Jessie grabs Sprog and runs down the road until the gang catches up and runs them over. Sprog is killed instantly, while Jessie, in a coma, is taken to intensive care, where she is expected to succumb to her injuries.
Enraged by the loss of his family, Max dons his police uniform and takes the black Pursuit Special without authorization to pursue and eliminate the gang. He kills several members of the gang before being caught in a trap set by Toecutter, Bubba and Johnny. Bubba shoots Max in the leg and rams his arm before Max can shoot Bubba with a sawed-off shotgun. Toecutter and Johnny run away, Max staggers to his car and pursues Toecutter, whom he pushes into the path of an approaching tractor-trailer.
After a long search, Max finds Johnny stealing a deceased motorist's boots. Ignoring Johnny's desperate pleas that he didn't kill the man and is not responsible for what happened to Max's family due to his diagnosed psychopathy, Max puts the handcuffs on at Johnny's ankle to the corpse's overturned vehicle and creates a rudimentary time fuse using escaped oil and Johnny's lighter. He gives Johnny a hacksaw, telling him that he can either try to saw off the handcuffs, which will take ten minutes, or his ankle, which will take five minutes, to survive. The vehicle explodes as Max drives away.
