Director George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the origin story of the renegade warrior, continues the full-throttle, post-apocalyptic movie franchise nine years after the commercial and critical success of Mad Max: Fury Road. Anya Taylor-Joy takes hold of the title character in this prequel and never lets go. Epic, dark and built for speed, Furiosa was made to be seen on the big screen. An unrecognizable and wickedly relentless Chris Hemsworth co-stars as Dementus, warlord of the Biker Horde and Furiosa’s adversary. Miller and his talented cast and crew are still very much in the driver’s seat.

“Miller is such a wildly inventive filmmaker that it’s been easy to forget that he keeps making movies about the end of life as we know it… It’s only with Furiosa that I now understand he’s also one kick-ass prophet of doom.” — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
“This is a film made with purposeful savagery, and with considerable wit and lyricism, too. It has the concentrated intensity of 2015’s Fury Road, to which it is a prequel, and yet it unfolds across a far broader canvas.” — Geoffrey Macnab, The Guardian
