This wild sequel to Mad Max, the Australian box-office smash, is a rousing tale of survival set in a grim future. The world is a combat zone ruled by violent crazies clad in leather jackets. A group of decent folk make their last stand against the marauders at a decrepit oil refinery. Max (Mel Gibson from Gallipoli), the strong and silent outsider, agrees to help them break away to freedom on the seacoast. The battle/chases sequence that follows is an adrenalin-pumping spree. Road Warrior boasts over 200 stunts and a smorgasbord of colorful characters.
