Mad Max
Dir: George Miller
Australia, 1979, 88minmins
Cast: Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne
In a dystopian near-future, hell-raising biker gangs terrorise the roads of suburban Australia, with order shakily maintained by the MPF and their star driver Max Rockatansky (Gibson). As his friends fall foul of gang leader the Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne), Max looks for a way out, but when events turn tragic Max sets out on a bloody quest for revenge. Shot on a minuscule budget yet packed with stuntwork that displayed little regard for safety, George Miller’s road rage classic would become one of the most profitable films of all time. The pinnacle of Australia’s Ozploitation New Wave, Mad Max introduced the world to Mel Gibson and launched a franchise that would change the face of science fiction cinema forever.
