My loss - this was super exciting, like a comic book come alive, not in a Marvel sense, but like a graphic novel. Most of the plot was somewhat derivative of movies I was not familiar with so I just settled in for the ride.
Max is a prisoner of war of Immortan Joe, who controls a kingdom protected by his armies. He has a harem of wives. He tasks Furiosa (Charlize Theron) to take the War Rig from one place to another. But when she goes off track, he finds out that Furiosa has taken his wives to break them out. He sends his armies on wheels to get them back.
Max (Tom Hardy) is taken into battle as a "bloodbag" for the skinheads Nux and Slit, who seeks glory in death in battle. Of course Max escapes, and is picked up in the War Rig which is chased for the rest of the movie.
Incredible stunts, vehicle chases, explosions, etc. make this an exciting chase. Like 1917, its a movie constantly on the move. Good character development makes this a fine watch.
