“Mad Max: Fury Road” is directed by George Miller, the man who owns the honor of originating the post-apocalyptic genre and the creator of “Mad Max.” The film stars Tom Hardy in the title character as well as Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, ZoĆ« Kravitz, Riley Keough and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

“Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.”
Miller directed “Mad Max: Fury Road” from a screenplay he wrote with Nico Lathouris and Brendan McCarthy. Miler is also producing with his producing partner Doug Mitchell.
The film will be in theaters May 15, 2015. You can learn more about “Mad Max: Fury Road” from its website as well as Facebook and Twitter (#MadMax)
