Mad Max 2 (1981)
Movie
Released
The first Mad Max has a rough, unnerving world and a revenge story. The sequel strips that world down to fuel, movement and reluctant cooperation, then makes a tanker chase explain everyone's priorities. Costume and vehicle silhouettes identify threats almost instantly. Its cleaner action geography and leaner mythic shape make it easier to enter, even as Max himself grows less approachable.

About Mad Max 2
Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.
