Action. Sci-Fi Mad Max, a former police officer is now a lone wanderer, travelling through a devasted Australia after a nuclear war looking for the now-priceless fuel of petrol. He lives to survive and is none too pleased when he finds himself the only hope of a small group of honest people running a remote oil refinery.

	Author	Review
United States	Richard Corliss Time	"Exhilarating entertainment -- and a textbook for sophisticated, popular moviemaking."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"A film of pure action, of kinetic energy organized around the barest possible bones of a plot. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Variety	"Director Miller keeps the pic moving with cyclonic force, photography by Dean Semler is first class, editing is supertight, and Brian May's music is stirring."	POS
United States	Vincent Canby The New York Times	"An extravagant film fantasy that looks like a sadomasochistic comic book come to life."	POS
United Kingdom	Derek Adams Time Out	"Miller's choreography of his innumerable vehicles is so extraordinary that it makes Spielberg's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' look like a kid fooling with Dinky Toys."	POS
