Synopsis:
About 15 years after the events of Mad Max 2,
nuclear war has finally destroyed what little was left of civilization. Grizzled
and older, former cop Max (Mel Gibson) roams the Australian desert in a
camel-drawn vehicle -- until father-and-son thieves Jebediah Sr. (Bruce Spence)
and Jr. (Adam Cockburn) use their jury-rigged airplane to steal his possessions
and means of transportation. Max soon winds up in Bartertown, a cesspool of
post-apocalyptic capitalism powered by methane-rich pig manure and overseen by
two competing overlords, Aunty Entity (Tina Turner) and Master (Angelo Rossitto),
a crafty midget who rides around on the back of his hulking underling, Blaster
(Paul Larsson). Seeking to re-equip himself, Max strikes a deal with the haughty
Aunty to kill Blaster in ritualized combat inside Thunderdome, a giant jungle
gym where Bartertown's conflicts are played out in a postmodern update of blood
and circuses. Although Max manages to fell the mighty Blaster, he refuses to
kill him after realizing the brute is actually a retarded boy. Aunty's henchmen
murder Blaster nonetheless, then punish Max for violating the law that "Two men
enter, one man leaves." Lashed to the back of a hapless pack animal and sent out
into a sandstorm, a near-death Max is rescued by a band of tribal children and
teens. The descendants of the victims of an airplane crash, the kids inhabit a
lush valley and wait for the day when Captain Walker, the plane's pilot, will
return to lead them back to civilization. Some of the children, refusing to
believe that Max isn't Walker and that the glorious cities of their mythology no
longer exist, set off in search of civilization on their own. Max and three
tribe members must then rescue their friends from Bordertown and the clutches of
Aunty Entity -- a quest that ends in a lengthy desert chase sequence that echoes
the first two Mad Max films. Spence also appeared in Mad Max 2 in a different
role, that of the Gyro Captain.
