Riding shotgun is Max, the infamous "Road Warrior".

Stella Papamichael
Mad Max creator George Miller brought his futuristic franchise thundering back to life with this sequel, more than three decades after Mel Gibson first donned the leathers. Miller puts a feminist spin on it, too, by placing Charlize Theron in the driving seat as Furiosa while Max (this time played by Tom Hardy) is her wingman. They embark on what is essentially one big, bone-rattling chase through the desert to escape tribal leader Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne who played Toecutter in the original 1979 film) and his hot-wheeled henchmen. Refreshingly, Miller keeps CGI to a minimum in favour of breathtaking choreographed stunts, but he does exploit modern cameras to weave between vehicles as they roar, crunch and groan with thrash-metal musicality. Theron's Furiosa is the beating heart at the centre of all this chaos. As well as being a formidable warrior, she's determined to find sanctuary for the women Immortan enslaved for breeding. Balancing her fury is the quietly magnetic Hardy, and if some fans are irked that he's riding shotgun, there's still more than enough machismo and machine-based mayhem to keep the adrenaline pumping.
