The Fall was a worldwide energy crisis that resulted in the deaths of millions due to scarcity of oil. This led to massive crime sprees with many looting, rioting and stealing of property. The wars for the last remaining oil deposits ultimatly led to the launching of nuclear warheads, resulting in the Great War.
Mel Gibson portrayed the title character Max Rockatansky in the first three films, while Tom Hardy portrayed the character in Mad Max: Fury Road. The series follows Max, initially a police officer in a future Australia which is experiencing societal collapse due to war, critical resource shortages, and ecocide.
It's never made clear, but it appears to have been a series of events starting with a critical energy shortage (which is why Max's interceptor is initially assigned to patrol a key oil transportation route) followed by general societal collapse (which we also see the beginnings of in the first film) followed by the ...
The War boys all appear to suffer from some sort of terminal disease - most commonly lymphoma. Healthy children are a rarity in the wastes and for those born with the affliction, signing on with Immortan Joe is the only way to prolong their short, miserable lifespans.
In the timeline of George Miller's original trilogy, it is after the events of "The Road Warrior" that the nuclear apocalypse happens. The remaining world governments, desperate to get their hands on the last bit of oil, finally activate the nuclear option and kill all wildlife, plants, and oceans.
Mad Max depicts a society that is anything but childish, warm, or innocent – water is so scare that women are exploited for their breast milk as a source of hydration and nourishment.
According to in game information, the ocean levels first rose due to polar melting, then receded. The recession could still be due to tectonic shifts opening rifts into the Earth's crust. Sadly, the Mad Max universe keeps these points rather vague.
In Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, more is revealed as to how Mad Max's world became what it is. A nuclear apocalypse destroyed the world and all rule of law, hence why Aunty (Tina Turner) and the Collector (Frank Thring) created Bartertown to rebuild civilization, one created on a methane-based energy economy.
In the movie "Mad Max: Fury Road," it is widely accepted that Furiosa lost her arm in battle after becoming an Imperator [1]. However, the film never explicitly states how she became an amputee, as the focus is on her personality and character rather than the specific details of her injury [1].
Miller described the film's key theme as survival, which he said it has in common with the American Westerns that were "such a staple for the better part of a century in American cinema", while several critics wrote that the primary theme of Mad Max: Fury Road is the attempt to retain humanity in the face of ...
15 years after the events of Mad Max 2, the society as we know it no longer exists. The only remaining shreds of civilization either live off of the old world or decided to start over again. Water is scarce and radioactive. The landscape had been turned into a desert.
The original Mad Max, which was released in 1979, opens with the caption, “A few years from now.” That, and a piece of graffiti on a road sign dated December 1984, puts the events of the first film squarely in the mid-80s, most likely 1985.
Nobody died in Mad Max, Hooper or Where Eagles Dare. These myths arise when people see a stunt that looks convincing (perhaps by going slightly wrong) and swapping scare stories. The high fall in Hooper preceded one for the movie Steel, in which AJ Bakunas did die.
In Mad Max, he is 23 years old in the year 1997; in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, he is 26 years old in the year 1999; and in Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome, he is 40 years old in the year 2014; and in Mad Max: Fury Road, his age is retconed to 36 even though the film takes place 46 years after Beyond Thunderdome in the ...
After an unseen nuclear exchange, the Wasteland as seen in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome and Mad Max: Fury Road has been vastly transformed. Much of the dusty rock of the Outback has been replaced with endless sand dunes, with almost no pre-Fall roads present.
Returning back to Max's extraneous leaving of the Citadel, having found redemption and reacquainting himself with his past, Max feels no obligation to stay as while the Citadel, the Wives, Furiosa, and Nux were his mediums of redemption, they weren't a part of what he was redeeming: his quest was purely for himself and ...
In an interview, Charlize Theron revealed that Furiosa was originally supposed to be another one of Immortan Joe's wives, but was infertile: "[George Miller and I] talked about backstory, about how she ended up with no arm and that she was discarded. She couldn't breed, and that was all that she was good for.
Under his armor, Joe is old, overweight, and diseased. His skin is pale and covered in tumors and open sores, indicating he may be suffering from cancer or another illness caused by exposure to nuclear fallout.
Immortan Joe is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road. He is portrayed by Hugh Keays-Byrne, who previously portrayed the Toecutter in the original Mad Max.

His penultimate act of savagery is tracking down Max's wife, Jessie, and their son and mowing them both down on the highway in cold blood.
The Golden Youth was first seen with Wez and remained alongside him often. He was ultimately killed by the Feral Kid. When the kid's sharpened boomerang was thrown, Wez managed to dodge the attack, but the Golden Youth did not. He was struck directly in the forehead, and died instantaneously from the trauma.
Basically they worship the Cult of V8. It is their belief that their power comes from the V8 engines, which are sacred objects and the conduit that will get them to valhalla after they die in combat. The spray paint is a way of worship in the cult, to make themselves look like the chromed grill of a car.
Dog's shocking and tragic death — killed by a marauder while protecting a defenseless Max — further illustrated Max's evolution from the first movie to The Road Warrior. At the end of Mad Max, Max got revenge on his family's killers and drove deeper into the desolate Australian Outback.
There is a secret area which is actually the end game area know as the Purgity Flatlands. This can only be found by falling off the cliff on the farrest right side of Chumbuckets land.
