Overview

A decade after the explosive events of Fury Road, Max Rockatansky (Tom Hardy) wanders a more desolate, chaotic wasteland. Resources are scarcer, factions are deadlier, and survival is more brutal than ever. When Max crosses paths with Furiosa (Charlize Theron), now leading a coalition of survivors fighting to reclaim the wasteland from warlords and marauders, he reluctantly joins her quest to restore some measure of hope to humanity.

Directed once again by George Miller, Mad Max 2: Wasteland delivers the same high-octane, relentless action the franchise is known for, while expanding the world with new gangs, vehicles, and survival challenges that push characters to their limits.
