Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

Rotten Tomatoes’ fourth Best Movie of 2024, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga returns us to Academy Award-winner George Miller’s iconic dystopian vision that began more than 40 years ago with the seminal Mad Max films and won six Oscars for 2015’s Mad Max: Fury Road.

Years before the events of Fury Road, a young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel, presided over by Immortan Joe. While the two tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive until she can find her way home.

Emmy nominee Anya Taylor-Joy (The Queen’s Gambit) steps into the title role originated by Charlize Theron in Fury Road, with People’s Choice winner Chris Hemsworth (Marvel’s Thor) as Dementus.

Furiosa has won numerous awards, with nominations at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards (Best Young Actress for Alyla Browne) and Saturn Awards (Best Science Fiction Film and Best Actress for Taylor-Joy). It has a 90% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As the audience consensus there says, “Come for Anya Taylor-Joy and stay on the edge of your seat for the CGI-heavy action. Furiosa does not disappoint fans of the franchise and welcomes newcomers to jump onto the thrilling Mad Max ride.”
