George Miller’s Fury Road prequel Furiosa has a lot riding on it — not just the titular character’s war rig, but also her entire feminist legacy.
The main appeal of Miller’s Mad Max universe has always been its intense dieselpunk worldbuilding, but with 2015’s Fury Road, the series gained an infusion of new energy and new iconic characters. Thanks to a strong ensemble cast, incredible action scenes and production values, and a high-stakes, high-concept chase that lasted for most of the run time, the film gave depth and beauty to its brutal post-apocalyptic wasteland.
