Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

About Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome is a Golden Globe-nominated 1985 film, the third installment in the action movie Mad Max franchise. The film was directed by George Miller and George Ogilvie, and stars Mel Gibson and Tina Turner. The original music score was composed by Maurice Jarre.

This movie provides additional back story to the original Mad Max and Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, showing a nuclear war following the energy crisis referenced in the beginning of The Road Warrior.

Driving a camel-powered truck across the desert, Max is attacked by an aircraft pilot, who manages to steal both his belongings and his vehicle. Max walks and finally stumbles upon the only nearby human outpost in the wasteland that remains — the seedy community of Bartertown, founded and nominally run by the ruthless Aunty Entity (Turner).
