As you may of heard, the famous Mad Max film franchise will be returning to theaters in May of 2015, with Tom Hardy starring as Max. Today, the new film’s first theatrical trailer was released, and it leads us to believe that Mad Max: Fury Road is going to be an explosively fun ride.
George Miller, originator of the series, returns to direct the fourth film, which also stars Charlize Theron and Nicolas Hoult.
Here’s a rundown of the premise, courtesy of Warner Bros. pictures:
From director George Miller, originator of the post-apocalyptic genre and mastermind behind the legendary “Mad Max” franchise, comes “Mad Max: Fury Road,” a return to the world of the Road Warrior, Max Rockatansky.
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.
Buckle up.
