The next day, Max witnesses several cars leave the besieged compound and get chased down by marauders. They arrive during the daily attack on the facility by a motley motorised gang, whose members include Wez. Max overpowers the man with his dog's help, sparing his life in return for being led to a working oil refinery the pilot has discovered. Later, Max tries collecting an apparently abandoned gyrocopter's fuel, but is ambushed by the pilot. He outmaneuvers a small group of marauders led by the unhinged biker Wez using his driving skills and a sawed-off shotgun and gets some petrol from a wrecked semi-truck.

Now, former policeman Max Rockatansky, haunted by the death of his family, drives his supercharged black V-8 Pursuit Special around the desert wilderness of Australia, scavenging for food and petrol with his Australian Cattle Dog. Preceded by Mad Max in 1979, the film was followed by Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome in 1985 and Mad Max: Fury Road in 2015.Īfter a global war resulted in widespread oil shortages, civilization collapsed, and the world descended into barbarism. Mad Max 2 is widely hailed as both one of the greatest action movies of all time and one of the greatest sequels ever made, and fan clubs for the film and 'road warrior'-themed activities continue into the 21st century. At the 10th Saturn Awards, the film won Best International Film and was nominated for five more awards: Best Director, Best Actor for Gibson, Best Supporting Actor for Bruce Spence, Best Writing, and Best Costumes for Norma Moriceau. It was also a box office success, and the film's post-apocalyptic and punk aesthetics helped popularise the genre in film and fiction writing. The film was released on 24 December 1981 to widespread critical acclaim, with particular praise given to Gibson's performance, the musical score, cinematography, action sequences, costume design and sparing use of dialogue. Filming took place in locations around Broken Hill, in the Outback of New South Wales.

The film's tale of a community of settlers moved to defend themselves against a roving band of marauders follows an archetypical ' Western' frontier movie motif, as does Max's role as a hardened man whose decision to assist the settlers helps him rediscover his humanity. It is the second installment in the Mad Max franchise, with Mel Gibson reprising his role as 'Mad' Max Rockatansky. Mad Max 2 (released as The Road Warrior in the United States) is a 1981 Australian post-apocalyptic action film directed by George Miller.
