The Road Warrior roars into the New Bev in glorious 35mm! Picking up several years after the original Mad Max ends, our nomadic hero roams the post-apocalyptic outback in search of food and fuel. But when he finds a refinery settlement hoarding an invaluable stockpile of gasoline, he fatefully agrees to help defend them against a vicious band of barbarian raiders. The Road Warrior is a pedal to the metal action masterpiece, expertly directed by George Miller, tightly edited and featuring some of the best vehicular stunt work ever lensed; its unforgettable attitude, costumes & design launching a generation of knockoffs. The film remains a jaw-dropping stunner and a rite of passage for all cinematic thrill-seekers.
“The special effects and stunts in this movie are spectacular; [The Road Warrior] goes on a short list with Bullitt, The French Connection, and the truck chase in Raiders of the Lost Ark as among the great chase films” – Roger Ebert
