PLOT:

As a perpetual energy crisis brings a post-apocalyptic Australia to its knees, only fragments of law, civilisation, and order remain, and the brutal Night Rider's marauding motorcycle gang of outlaws terrorise the remaining outback communities. When Max Rockatansky, a hard-boiled officer of the elite Main Force Patrol, kills the blood-lusting cop-killer, his comrades, led by the sadistic Toe-cutter, embark on a mindless killing spree. Now, it's Max's turn to mourn his loved ones and take the law into his own hands. Who can stand in the way of Mad Max, the road warrior?
