The vehicles swerve and jump and lift off and crash andĮxplode and recover and just go, go, go. They rip through the wasted outback after Furiosa, and the chases are ridiculous fun. So does Max, sort of - he is a human blood bag for Nux (Nicholas Hoult), one of the War Boys who serve Joe. She has something of great value to Joe - five of his wives - so he and his troops head off in hot pursuit. Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) leads one of those excursions, but things go awry when she goes rogue. It's a nightmarish existence punctuated by mother's milk (really) and horsepower, at least whenever Joe sends groups out to retrieve gasoline. Joe is a monstrous creature, wearing some kind of steam-punk breathing device and hoarding water, using it to control what's left of the population. Max gets captured and tortured by the minions of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne, who played Toecutter in the original "Mad Max"). RELATED: 36 years later, Toecutter is back as Immortan Joe. The latter haunts him in visions, wanting to know why he couldn't save them. As the film begins, he's on the road, mourning the death of his wife and daughter. "Fury Road" retains some of that story, but it's different - especially Max, now played by Tom Hardy. Later, he's a kind of savior for the post-apocalyptic set, living in a world in which water and gasoline are scarce and, thus, valuable, even when human life is not. In those films, Max Rockatansky (Gibson) is a former cop who avenges the death of his wife and son at the hands of a biker gang. Miller, of course, directed Mel Gibson in "Mad Max" (1979) and "The Road Warrior" (1981), the best of the original bunch, and co-directed "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome" (1985). Whoever said "Too much is never enough" made an impression on Miller, who uses the phrase as a starting point and blasts off from there. "Mad Max: Fury Road" hits the ground running and never lets up in an orgy of automotive action that ought to be exhausting but, in the hands of George Miller, turns out to be exhilarating.
