Synopsis:
This stunning, post-apocalyptic action thriller
from director George_Miller stars Mel_Gibson as Max Rockatansky, a policeman in
the near future who is tired of his job. Since the apocalypse, the lengthy,
desolate stretches of highway in the Australian outback have become bloodstained
battlegrounds. Max has seen too many innocents and fellow officers murdered by
the bomb's savage offspring, bestial marauding bikers for whom killing, rape,
and looting is a way of life. He just wants to retire and spend time with his
wife and son but lets his boss talk him into taking a peaceful vacation and he
starts to reconsider. Then his world is shattered as a gang led by the evil
Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne) murders his family in retaliation for the death of
one of its members. Dead inside, Max straps on his helmet and climbs into a
souped-up V8 racing machine to seek his bloody revenge. Despite an obviously low
budget and a plot reminiscent of many spaghetti Westerns, Mad Max is
tremendously exciting, thanks to some of the most spectacular road stunts ever
put on film. Cinematographer David Eggby and stunt coordinator Grant_Page did
some of their best work under Miller's direction and crafted a gritty, gripping
thrill ride which spawned two sequels, numerous imitations, and made Mel_Gibson
an international star. One sequence, in which a man is chained to a car and must
cut off a limb before the machine explodes is one of the most tense scenes of
the decade. The American version dubbed all the voices -- including Gibson's --
in a particularly cartoonish manner. Trivia buffs should note that Max's car is
a 1973 Ford Falcon GT Coupe with a 300 bhp 351C V8 engine, customized with the
front end of a Ford Fairmont and other modifications.
