Fury Road - in which the apocalypse has gone terribly, and poor Mad Max has been alone in the desert so long, he has forgotten how to talk. First, he grumbles out some exposition, so we know how awful things have been for him, but he still has the Interceptor. Not for long. Then, Max is overtaken by a gang of powder-skinned weirdos in savage vehicles that look like they used to be cars. They take him to a large mesa, he tries to escape, but he is recaptured and tattooed and caged. There is a strange and icky society that lives inside the mesas. And some deformed weirdos who live on the ground level of this city, The Citadel. So, Furiosa is an Imperator, which maybe what they call generals in Australia, with one mechanical arm, and she is leading a caravan of trucks to Gas Town to get gas, but she goes off the rails and it turns out she had a secret plan to escape from Immorten Joe the whole time, and she took his prized breeding women. Those poor girls. Anyway, on the road, they are spied to be off course and Immo Joe sends a bunch of war parties after the runaway trucks. Mad Max is roped into this because he is brought along as a blood donor to the driver of one of the war cars, and he is strapped to the grille. Furiosa has made a deal to get a pass into some buzzard lands, but they don't want to do the deal because she brought more trouble than gas.
A road chase ensues. There is a guy with a flame-throwing guitar, a bunch of pole-cat guys, and everyone keeps yelling about Valhalla. By the way, Immorten Joe is Toe Cutter. Just the same actor. So, Max gets mixed up with these women, and the war boy he was attached to turns into a stowaway on their rig. Max and Furiosa do not fall in love, but he still helps her get where she is going, but it turns out that her childhood home has been eaten by the desert as well. Max is just like, "Oh, well. Guess we have to turn around and take over the Citadel," and the other bitches are like, "Yeah! Good idea! Is it worth it?" And the breeder girls say, "It sure is. There is so much water, you're gonna take two baths." So Furiosa gets on board and they turn around and take over the Citadel by defeating stupid Immorten Joe on the road, with the help of the Vulvalini, the gang of old ladies Furiosa went "home" to. Max isn't gonna stay, though. He got a little sanity, and so, he's off to make friends with some more feral people, or whoever he finds in the Wasteland.
