Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (titled onscreen as Furiosa) is an Australian 2024 post-apocalyptic action adventure film directed, co-written, and co-produced by George Miller, who collaborated with Nico Lathouris on the screenplay. The fifth installment in the Mad Max franchise, Furiosa serves as both a spin-off and prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), focusing on the character Imperator Furiosa, originally portrayed by Charlize Theron in Fury Road.

The film stars Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Browne as younger versions of Furiosa, alongside Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke.[4] Set in a desert wasteland where warlords fight over the last remaining sources of water, food, weapons, and gasoline, Furiosa traces a young Furiosa's life from her kidnapping by the forces of Warlord Dementus (Hemsworth), through her struggle to survive as a slave, and eventually a trusted lieutenant, of cult leader Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme) and his military commander Praetorian Jack (Burke), until Furiosa can enact revenge on Dementus for the loss of her mother.

Miller initially intended to shoot Furiosa back-to-back with Fury Road, but the former spent several years in development hell amidst salary disputes with Warner Bros. Pictures, Fury Road's distributor. Several crew members from Fury Road returned for Furiosa, including composer Tom Holkenborg, costume designer Jenny Beavan, editor Margaret Sixel (Miller's wife), and screenwriter Lathouris. Principal photography took place in Australia from June to October 2022.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga premiered at the 77th Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2024. It was released in theatres in Australia by Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow Pictures on 23 May 2024, and in the United States the following day, to positive reviews from critics.

Plot[edit]

Years after a global catastrophe, Australia is a radioactive wasteland and the Green Place of Many Mothers is one of the last remaining areas with fresh water and agriculture. Raiders discover the Green Place while a young Furiosa and her sister, Valkyrie, are picking peaches. Furiosa attempts to sabotage their motorbikes, but the raiders capture her as a prize for their leader, Warlord Dementus of the Biker Horde. Furiosa's mother Mary pursues them to the Horde's camp. Although Furiosa mortally wounds the last raider before he can divulge the location of the Green Place, Mary is unable to stop him from delivering Furiosa to Dementus.

Later that night, Mary sneaks into the camp and rescues Furiosa. The Biker Horde gives chase. Mary stays back to buy Furiosa time to escape, but Furiosa returns to her mother instead. Dementus captures them both and forces Furiosa to watch her mother's crucifixion. He adopts Furiosa as his daughter, revealing that he is still haunted by the deaths of his family during the catastrophe. He also hopes that she will eventually lead him to the Green Place. During her captivity, Furiosa tattoos a star chart to the Green Place on her left arm so that she can find her way home.

After receiving a tip from a stranded War Boy, Dementus and the Biker Horde arrive at the Citadel, another Wasteland settlement with fresh water and agriculture. He is repelled by the Citadel's leader, Immortan Joe, and the rest of his fanatical army, the War Boys. Dementus changes course and uses a Trojan Horse strategy to capture Gastown, an oil refinery that supplies the Citadel with the gasoline it needs to pump water from its underground aquifer. At peace negotiations, Dementus demands that the Citadel recognize his authority over Gastown and increase its supplies of food and water. In exchange, he trades Joe his personal physician and Furiosa. Joe imprisons Furiosa with his stable of wives, hoping that once she comes of age, she will bear him a healthy heir.

Furiosa escapes when Immortan Joe's son, Rictus, tries to rape her. Disguised as a mute teenage boy, she works her way up the ranks of Joe's men for over a decade and helps build the "War Rig", a heavily armed supply tanker that can withstand raider attacks in the lawless Wasteland. During one such attack, the Rig's crew are nearly wiped out; the Rig's commander, Praetorian Jack, and Furiosa are the only survivors. Furiosa attempts to steal the Rig and drive back to the Green Place, but Jack easily thwarts her. However, Jack recognizes her potential, and she is promoted to the rank of Praetorian. He offers to train her to escape the Citadel if she helps him rebuild his crew. Eventually, the two fall in love and resolve to run away together one day.

Immortan Joe decides to attack Gastown, as Dementus's mismanagement has led the facility to near-ruin. He orders Jack and Furiosa to collect weapons and ammunition from the Bullet Farm, an allied mining facility. However, Dementus ambushes the War Rig when it arrives, having preemptively attacked and captured the Bullet Farm. Furiosa and Jack barely escape, but Furiosa's left arm is severely injured and Jack is forced to abandon the War Rig. Dementus catches up with their unarmed escape vehicle and tortures Jack to death. Furiosa escapes by cutting off her injured arm, consequently severing her last ties to the Green Place in order to survive. She returns to the Citadel as an unidentified male loner looks on from a distance with a black interceptor.[b] A 40-day war ensues, during which most of Dementus's horde is killed.

Having lost her lover and her path home, Furiosa shaves her head, replaces her arm with a mechanical prosthetic, and engages in a solo pursuit of the warlord as he flees with the remnants of his horde. After an extended chase, she eventually isolates a weakened, dehydrated Dementus in the desert and identifies herself to his surprise. She demands the life and years he took from her, but Dementus taunts her back, reminding her that he lost his entire family and that revenge will not make her whole. In a voiceover, the potentially unreliable narrator suggests that Furiosa spares Dementus but imprisons him in the Citadel, using his living body as fertilizer to grow a peach tree from the peach pit she picked during her last day in the Green Place.

For her services, Immortan Joe promotes Furiosa to "Imperator" and gives her command of a new War Rig. She eventually meets Joe's five remaining wives in the vault where Joe once held her prisoner. In the final scene, the Five Wives hide in Furiosa's War Rig the night before another supply run.[c]

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Pre-production[edit]

Director George Miller and co-writer Nico Lathouris spent over 15 years writing the script for Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), and developed backstories for every character, particularly co-protagonist Imperator Furiosa.[13] They eventually wrote a Furiosa-centered screenplay, which actress Charlize Theron (who portrayed Furiosa in Fury Road) used as reference for her performance in the film.[14] At one point, they hoped to turn the Furiosa screenplay into an animated film.[15] According to Miller, Furiosa "probably" takes place after Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985), but the Mad Max franchise has "no strict chronology".[16] The first trailer of the film, released on 30 November 2023, confirmed that Furiosa takes place "45 years after the collapse".[17]

In July 2010, Miller announced plans to shoot Fury Road back-to-back with a live-action prequel film entitled Mad Max: Furiosa, but during pre-production, it was decided to only shoot Fury Road.[18] In November 2017, Miller's production company filed a lawsuit against Warner Bros. over unpaid salaries which delayed the production of any additional entries in the franchise.[19] In July 2019, Miller revealed that a Furiosa film was still being planned in addition to two Mad Max sequels.[20]

By March 2020, Miller resolved his legal disputes with Warner Bros. and began casting the Furiosa prequel, which he intended to make after Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022). It was reported that the film would take place over a timeframe of 15 years, depicting Furiosa's backstory of how she was displaced from her home and spent her life "trying to get back".[14] Multiple Fury Road crew members agreed to return for the film, including composer Tom Holkenborg, costume designer Jenny Beavan, editor Margaret Sixel, makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt, production designer Colin Gibson, and sound mixer Ben Osmo; Beavan, Gibson, Osmo, Sixel, and Vanderwalt had all previously won Academy Awards for their work on Fury Road.[9][21][22][23]

Miller sought to cast a younger actress for the role rather than using de-aging technology for Theron.[13] Theron admitted that the decision was "a little heartbreaking, for sure," but understood Miller's rationale.[24] In March 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown in Australia, Miller auditioned several actresses over Skype for the Furiosa role.[25] He chose Anya Taylor-Joy after seeing her performance in an early cut of the film Last Night in Soho (2021) and auditioning her with the "Mad as Hell" monologue from Sidney Lumet's Network (1976).[26] Edgar Wright, the director of Last Night in Soho, told Miller to "do yourself a favor and grab the opportunity to work with her."[24] Taylor-Joy received advice from Nicholas Hoult, who had previously portrayed Nux in Fury Road.[27][28]

In 2021, Miller cast Alyla Browne as a young Furiosa; she had previously worked with Miller on Three Thousand Years of Longing. Miller said that she reminded him of a young Furiosa, and that she impressed him while doing the splits on set.[29] Tom Burke joined the cast in the autumn of 2021 as Praetorian Jack, replacing Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, who dropped out due to a scheduling conflict.[30]

In January 2022, it was reported that Simon Duggan would be serving as cinematographer.[31] That June, it was reported Nathan Jones and Angus Sampson were set to reprise their roles from Fury Road.[32] That August, Quaden Bayles, who worked on Three Thousand Years of Longing after a video about his mistreatment at school went viral, was announced to be appearing in Furiosa in a small role.[33]

Filming[edit]

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was shot in the New South Wales towns of Hay (left) and Silverton (right), which is often considered a ghost town,[34] though it apparently has a small population of 48 people.

In May 2022, Miller confirmed to Deadline Hollywood that second unit filming was underway in Australia in advance of principal photography.[35] The film was awarded a AU$175 million filming incentive,[36] and spent a total of US$233 million (AU$343.2 million) in Australia, the most-ever for a film production in the country.[37] Chris Hemsworth stated that Miller had hired ex-convicts as supporting artists for the film.[38] In May 2022, second unit filming moved to Hay with more scheduled to take place in Silverton.[39]

Principal photography began on 1 June 2022, in Australia.[40] The action sequence where the raiders attack the War Rig took 78 days to shoot; close to 200 stunt performers worked on it every day.[41] Filming was expected to wrap in September, but instead wrapped in October.[42][43] Taylor-Joy said that working on the film was a challenging experience, stating: "I've never been more alone than making that movie ... I don't want to go too deep into it, but everything that I thought was going to be easy was hard."[44]

Post-production[edit]

In March 2024, it was revealed that Lachy Hulme would portray a younger Immortan Joe in the film, taking over the role from the late Hugh Keays-Byrne, who portrayed Joe in Fury Road and passed away in 2020. Hulme was only cast as Rizzdale Pell first, but as he prepared for the role during filming, Hulme asked Miller about his plans for Immortan Joe, for which Miller was planning to use just a body double, but Hulme offered to step up in the role to honor Keays-Byrne, insisting he could replicate Joe's voice and eyes, which convinced Miller to agree.[11][45]

Fury Road production VFX supervisor Andrew Jackson returned for duty on Furiosa, working with visual effects studios DNEG, Framestore, Rising Sun Pictures, and slatevfx.[46][47][48]

Release[edit]

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga premiered at the Cannes Film Festival on 15 May 2024.[49] The film released theatrically in Australia and India on 23 May 2024, and in the United States on 24 May 2024; Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures served as distributors.[50]

The film was originally scheduled to be released on 23 June 2023, but was delayed to May 2024 after rising COVID-19 cases in Australia caused production delays.[51][52]

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

In the United States and Canada, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was released alongside The Garfield Movie and Sight, and is projected to gross around $40 million from 3,750 theaters in its four-day opening weekend. Over the same frame, the film released in 71 additional territories, where it is projected to gross $40–45 million.[53] The film earned $10.2 million on its first day, including $3.5 million from Thursday night previews, similar to the $3.7 million made by Fury Road.[54]

Critical response[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 89% of 253 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.0/10. The website's consensus reads: "Retroactively enriching Fury Road with greater emotional heft if not quite matching it in propulsive throttle, Furiosa is another glorious swerve in mastermind George Miller's breathless race towards cinematic Valhalla."[55] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 79 out of 100, based on 62 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.[56] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale, while those polled by PostTrak gave the film an average of 4 1/2 stars out of 5, with 70% saying they would definitely recommend it.[57][54]

Writing for RogerEbert.com, Robert Daniels awarded the film 4 out of 4 stars, and called it "one of the best prequels ever made". He praised the storyline, action sequences, and performances.[58] Pete Hammond of Deadline Hollywood viewed the film as possessing "the best screenplay of any Mad Max film".[59] Other reviewers lauded the acting, with The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw calling Anya Taylor-Joy "an overwhelmingly convincing action heroine".[60] Writing for Empire, John Nugent awarded the film 5 out of 5 stars, and described Taylor-Joy as "phenomenal", finding the "right balance of steeliness and fractured humanity that Theron instilled".[61] Chris Hemsworth also received acclaim for his performance as Dementus, with Jada Yuan writing in The Washington Post that Hemsworth had "created one of the all-time-great screen villains".[62] Jake Wilson of The Sydney Morning Herald said that Hemsworth "steals the show".[63]

In a critical review, Owen Gleiberman of Variety perceived Furiosa as filled with "pretension" and as "franchise overkill".[64] Nicholas Barber of BBC also disliked some aspects of the film, giving it 3 out of 5 stars. He viewed the plot as meandering and as draining, writing: "You soon reach the point where you're sick of sand, sick of explosions, sick of off-puttingly sadistic violence."[65] Stephanie Zacharek's review in Time similarly criticized the film as "a slog that's working hard to persuade us we're having a good time".[66] John McDonald, writing for the Australian Financial Review, stated that part of the film's "failure may be attributed to the writing, but also to Hemsworth's woodenness as an actor".[67]
