Original storyboard opening shot. Australia is a desert wasteland and civilization has collapsed. Max (Tom Hardy), a former MFP officer, is captured by the War Boys, the army of a tyrannical cult leader named Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays- Byrne). Designated as a universal blood donor, Max is imprisoned and used as a living blood bag for a sickly War Boy called Nux (Nicholas Hoult). Meanwhile, Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) drives her heavily- armored War Rig to collect gasoline in nearby Gas Town. However, Furiosa begins driving off route, alerting Joe who realizes that his Five Wives (Rosie Huntington- Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Courtney Eaton) — beautiful and healthy women specially selected for breeding — are gone.

Joe leads his entire War Boy army in pursuit of Furiosa, calling on the aid of his allies in Gas Town and the Bullet farm. Nux joins the army with Max strapped to the hood of his car, to continue supplying blood. A battle ensues between the Rig and Joe's forces. Furiosa drives into an approaching sand storm to evade her pursuers. Nux, driven by Joe's indoctrinated belief that dying in battle will take him to Valhalla, attempts to destroy the Rig by making his car explode upon impact on the massive truck.

Max escapes and restrains Nux, but the car is destroyed by the Rig. Waking up after the storm, Max sees Furiosa nearby repairing her Rig, accompanied by the Wives who are cleaning themselves with water and removing fanged metal chastity belts from their bodies. Max engages in a fight with the women and steals the Rig, but its kill- switch disables the truck. Max reluctantly agrees to let Furiosa and the Wives accompany him, while Nux returns to Joe.

Furiosa drives through Rock Riders territory into a narrow canyon, having previously agreed to exchange gasoline for safe passage. However, Joe's forces are close behind, and Furiosa flees while the Bikers detonate the canyon walls to block Joe's path. Max and Furiosa fend off the pursuing Bikers, but Joe's vehicle evades the blockade and assaults the Rig.

Nux boards the Rig while Joe attempts to shoot Furiosa. Angharad — Joe's heavily pregnant wife — shields Furiosa, but falls from the Rig and is run over by Joe's car, killing her and his child and leaving the remaining Wives devastated by her death. Furiosa explains to Max that they are escaping to the "Green Place of Many Mothers", a location she remembers from her youth. Behind The Candelabra Full Movie In English. Capable finds Nux, distraught that he contributed to the death of Joe's wife; touched by his remorse, she consoles him. At night, the heavy Rig gets caught in deep mud. Furiosa and Max slow Joe's forces with explosives, but Joe's ally, the Bullet Farmer, pursues the Rig.

Nux helps free the Rig while Furiosa shoots and blinds the Bullet Farmer. He retaliates with machine gun fire and explosives. Max wanders into the dark to confront the Bullet Farmer, killing him and safely returning to the Rig with guns and ammunition. As dawn breaks, the Rig travels through swampland and desert, and the group eventually encounters a naked woman.

Max identifies it as a trap, but Furiosa leaves the Rig and states her former clan affiliation, revealing that she is of the Vuvalini. The woman, Valkyrie (Megan Gale), summons a group of desert bikers who realize that Furiosa is a member of their all- female clan; kidnapped with her mother by Immortan Joe when she was a child.

Furiosa is distraught to learn that the swamp land they passed was in fact the Green Place, which is now uninhabitable. The group agree to ride their motorbikes across the immense salt flats in the hope of finding somewhere to live.

Max chooses to stay behind, but after seeing visions of Glory the Child, he convinces them to return to the Citadel, which has ample water and greenery that Joe keeps for himself, and trap Joe and his army in the Biker Gang's canyon. The group begins the journey back to the Citadel, eventually encountering Joe and his remaining forces.

A battle is waged by the two sides, and Furiosa is gravely wounded in the process. Joe positions his car in front of the Rig in an attempt to slow it down, while Max fights Joe's eldest son, Rictus Erectus (Nathan Jones). Toast the Knowing is captured and put on Joe's car, but she is able to distract him, allowing Furiosa to hook Joe's mask to his car's rotating wheels, tearing his lower jaw off and instantly killing him. Nux sacrifices himself by destroying the Rig, blocking the canyon, killing Rictus, and allowing Max, Furiosa, and the Wives to escape in Joe's vehicle. Max donates his blood to Furiosa with the help of the Dag, to help her survive her fatal injuries. At the Citadel, the citizens are overjoyed at the sight of Joe's mangled corpse, signifying the end of his despotic rule over the land. At the citizens' joyful urging, Furiosa and the Wives are raised up on a lift by the child War Boys, but Max stays behind.

He and Furiosa share a glance of acknowledgment before Max disappears into the crowd. Spoilers end here. Cast. Development. Initially conceived shortly after Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road or Mad Max 4 failed to launch on multiple occasions.

The initial idea The idea for the next installment of Max's adventures came to Miller in 1. Could we make a film which is almost a continuous chase and how much can the audience apprehend from that story in terms of character, relationships, the world, the backstory and so on? And that the Mc. Guffin, the thing that everyone's in conflict over should be human because to some extent or another we're all commodities in the world.". George Miller on the very initial idea he had for Fury Road. Miller pushed that idea out of his mind for 9 years.

In 1. 99. 6 the same idea came to Miller on a long plane trip across the Pacific and that is when he dreamed the storyline while in a 'hypnagogic' state.
