The Road Warrior and Fury Road are widely regarded to be the two best Mad Max movies, but which one is truly the greatest film in the classic post-apocalyptic action franchise? Mad Max originated as a no-budget indie production in the late 1970s.

Fury Road, filmmaker George Miller turned the spotlight back on the 2015 movie’s breakout character, Furiosa, for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Anya Taylor-Joy inherited the role from Charlize Theron for this prequel chronicling the decade+ leading up to her meeting Tom Hardy’s Max Rockatansky.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was a visually stunning, critically acclaimed action epic in the same vein as its predecessor, Fury Road. However, the film struggled at the box office, seemingly halting talks on future entries in the franchise.

After nearly a decade, filmmaker George Miller returned to the world of Mad Max with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The prequel focuses on the story of Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, as she takes on a role originally portrayed by Charlize Theron in Mad Max: Fury Road.
