The Road Warrior

"The Road Warrior," also known as "Mad Max 2," is a 1981 post-apocalyptic action film directed by George Miller. It’s set in a desolate future where society has collapsed, and resources like fuel are scarce. The story follows Max Rockatansky, a lone ranger who helps a group of survivors defend a fortified oil refinery from a violent gang. The film is notable for its high-octane car chases, unique visuals, and themes of survival and human resilience. It is considered a seminal work in the action genre and laid the groundwork for future car-centric post-apocalyptic films.
