...Mayhem-heavy....Road-cop Max was Mel Gibson's star-making role...

[The] film has been consigned to the grind houses, where audiences are responding as Miller wants them to. From there Mad Max will find its way to the film schools and revival houses, where its tough-gutted intelligence may be appreciated. Full Review

Some of the most determinedly formalist filmmaking this side of Michael Snow. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- A solid and entertaining spectacle, filled with brilliantly staged action scenes and made all the more fascinating for its oracular indication of the age of bold movie science fiction that was to follow. Full Review

Product Description:

Rebel bikers combat the police in a bleak post-nuclear future where the highways are bloody battlegrounds. When a gang of motorcyclists brutally murder a policeman's family he becomes Mad Max, avenger of the highways. Sequel: THE ROAD WARRIOR.

Plot Synopsis:

Futuristic tale set in Australia, which has become a wasteland where vicious, fast-driving criminals cause death, destruction, and mayhem on the highways. The police do their best to maintain control, but their attempts prove futile. As a result, one cop named Max quits his job and goes on a vacation with his family. However they are terrorized by a gang of malicious speed-demons, who kill Max' wife and baby. Angry, Max rejoins the force, revs up his motorcycle -- and seeks bloody revenge against the fiends who murdered his family.

Production Notes:

  • Theatrical Release: May 9, 1980
  • Director George Miller's first feature film.
  • Shot in Todd-AO 35 with an original aspect ratio of 2.35:1.
  • Filmed between November and December 1977 in and around Melborune, Sunbury, and Clunes (Victoria), Australia.
  • Released theatrically in Australia April 12, 1979.
  • When first released in New York City, the print shown had the actors' voices dubbed, because the Australian accent, known as "strine" was so thick, and barely understandable. Some video versions feature the original soundtrack. However, most VHS versions are dubbed.
