"You may be raw but you have a badge of purposeful savagery. You give me time, I'll teach you everything you need to know about road war. If you survive everything we take on together, you'll have all the skills you'll need to get wherever you want to go. No questions asked." – Praetorian Jack, to Furiosa

Why watch this? Fury Road was an impossible Max re-start. This is it's most compelling character's origin story.

Plot Summary: Young Furiosa is kidnapped by the Great Biker Horde, led by the charismatic tyrant, Dementus, who forces her to watch her mother's crucifixion. When Dementus learns of the Citadel, he decided to attack the towering stronghold. It's leader, Immortan Joe, and his army of white-skinned War Boys, defend the attack while Furiosa escapes Dementus and joins Immortan's ranks. All this happens before Taylor-Joy even comes on screen.

Dad's Preview: In a post-apocalyptic world of utter madness, George Miller once again cobbles together some of the best storytelling on big screens today. It's bombastic, heart-wrenching, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Every scene is choreographed like the finest Sydney Ballet, and the cinematography is breathtaking. It delivers in every moment. Taylor-Joy fills the Furiosa role nicely, but it is Hemsworth who stands out and more than gives this wasteland saga the fun-filled, nasty villain that every blockbuster needs.
