Description of this Mad Max Poster
Mad Max is a 1979 Australian dystopian action film. Directed by George Miller, it was released in French theaters on February 29, 1980. The action takes place in an unspecified future in Australia, centering on the conflict between a gang of rockers and police officer Max Rockatansky, the murder of his son and the attempted murder of his wife, as well as his quest for revenge. The film, shot on a low budget, was an international success, and a series of films were subsequently made around Max Rockatansky: Mad Max II, Mad Max – Beyond Thunderdome and Mad Max: Fury Road.
The film takes place in Australia, in the undated near future. Motorized gangs rule the streets, and murders and street assaults are commonplace. The police (MFP – Main Force Patrol), no less brutal, are waging an almost losing war against marauders and rocker gangs. When Nightrider, the notorious leader of the hell jockeys, escapes from prison and leaves a trail of wildfire in his escape with a stolen V8 police response vehicle, police officer Max Rockatansky sets off in pursuit. Finally, Nightrider dies in the chase with Rockatansky.
The members of the Jockeys from Hell want to arrest the alleged murderer of the gang leader. They are led by the brutal Toecutter. They first pick up Nightrider’s body at a small town train station, then drive through the town. After attacking a couple and destroying their car, they leave, leaving behind a gang member, Johnny, from a middle-class family, high on drugs and arrested by Max and Goose. When the assaulted couple doesn’t press charges for fear of the gang, the police are forced to release Johnny, who then clashes with Goose and vows revenge.
Toecutter asks his sidekick Johnny to burn Max’s friend, Goose, after a car accident. Johnny refuses, but Toecutter pressures him until a lit match finally slips from his hand and the leaking gasoline sets fire to the wrecked car with Goose trapped inside. When Max sees Goose, horribly disfigured, in the hospital, he wants to quit his job. Police Chief Fifi Macaffee tries to convince Max to stay on the force. Max agrees to take an extended leave of absence and leaves town with his wife, Jessie, and son. By chance, during a stop at the garage, Jessie encounters the Hell Jockeys, who harass her and, after kicking their leader in the testicles, give chase. In his escape, gang member Cundalini loses his hand. The rockers attack the family at the farmhouse where Max and his family have decided to spend their vacation and seize the son while Max searches for his attackers in the nearby forest. With the farmer’s help, Jessie manages to free the son and escape by car. But when the vehicle stops due to engine failure and Jessie flees on foot with her son in her arms to escape the approaching rockers, she is run over and her son is killed, while the woman survives, seriously injured.
In revenge, Max steals a modified 440 kW (598 hp) V8 (a modified Ford Falcon XB GT Coupe) from the police and sets out to find the killers. He manages to push some of the rockers off a bridge. During the chase, he is ambushed by Toecutter and his relatives Johnny and Bubba; as Max approaches Johnny, who is playing dead after what he believes to be a motorcycle accident, Bubba shoots Max in the leg. Max is on the ground, and Bubba runs over his arm with his motorcycle as he tries to grab his gun. When Bubba then takes another swing at Max, Max manages to crawl to his sawed-off shotgun just before the collision and shoot Bubba with it. Toecutter and Johnny then flee. Max continues to pursue them. During the chase, Toecutter dies in a head-on collision with an oncoming truck. Max then finds Johnny near a wrecked vehicle, just as he is about to steal the dead driver’s boots. Max handcuffs Johnny’s ankles to the wrecked vehicle, which is leaking gasoline. He then improvises a time-delay detonator using a lighter that will detonate the vehicle in about five minutes. He tosses Johnny a saw, telling him that sawing through the chain on the handcuffs would take at least ten minutes, but that Johnny would be lucky to be able to sever his foot in as little as five minutes. Johnny begs Max in vain to undo the handcuffs and let him go, but Max leaves him and gets into his car without saying a word. In the last scene, we see Max driving away as the wrecked car explodes behind him.
