Mad Max 2

1981 · 96 min

A lean, roaring chase through dust and engines, sparse on words and heavy on kinetic dread and grimy spectacle.

Tagline: Just one man can make a difference.
Overview: Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.
How it feels: Dark, bleak, tense and campy. Relentless and needs your attention.
About: Survival, violence, isolation, greed
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
