Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the movie follows the iconic character Max (played by Mel Gibson) as he navigates a desolate wasteland plagued by gang violence and scarcity of resources.

Along the way, Max forms bonds with eccentric characters like the Gyro Captain (played by Bruce Spence) and faces off against the ruthless warlord Humungus (played by Kjell Nilsson) and his marauding gang of raiders.
