Movie Description The first sequel to MAD MAX takes place after nuclear war has destroyed Australia. In this installment, Max lends his aid and protection to a small band of survivors who are losing their struggle to protect an oil refinery under siege by a band of savage, mohawked marauders. Playing very much like a post-apocalyptic western (right down to Max's dog, Hondo) THE ROAD WARRIOR boats one of the most thrilling car chase scenes ever filmed.

Editorial Reviews "...MAD MAX 2 is a stunning technical achievement....Bigger, bolder, and infinitely more spectacular and powerful than the original..." Variety - Dogo. (12/23/1981)
"Never has a film's vision of the post-nuclear holocaust world seemed quite as desolate and as brutal, or as action-packed and sometimes as funny as in George Miller's apolcalyptic THE ROAD WARRIOR, an extravagant film fantasy..." New York Times - p.C24 - Vincent Canby (04/29/1982)
"...Not only did WARRIOR up the ante on motorized mayhem, but film fashion was never the same..." Entertainment Weekly - Entertainment Weekly Staff (01/11/2002)
