Starring: Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence, Vernon Wells, Emil Minty, Mike Preston
Directed by: George Miller, Brian Hannant

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.
MPAA Rating: R.
