Spawning an endless string of B-movie imitations (mostly Italian) throughout the 1980's, the second installment of George Miller's Mad Max franchise is arguably the best (we said arguably... Fury Road has given it a run for its money) and features some of the greatest stunts and vehicular mayhem to ever grace the silver screen. Originally known as The Road Warrior in the US and Mad Max 2 just about everywhere else, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is a must-see on the big screen!

Official Synopsis (Warner Bros.):
The meek shall inherit the earth. Wrong. Not in the bleak near future of the second of three Mad Max movies [Thalian Hall Cinema Edit: there are now five]. Mel Gibson stars in the film that made him an international superstar as Max, a former cop reduced to scavenging for gasoline--the decaying world's most prized commodity—as he cruises the barren, post-apocalyptic Outback along highways crawling with human vermin.
Directed by George Miller
