‘Mad Max Saga’ Announces Max Premiere Date

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is set to begin streaming on Max on August 16.

The film’s streaming debut follows its May theatrical release, which had an underwhelming worldwide gross of $172 million, despite receiving strong reviews from critics.

Marking the fifth installment in the Mad Max franchise by George Miller, Furiosa serves as a prequel to 2015’s Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road. It delves into the backstory of Imperator Furiosa, played by Anya Taylor-Joy, taking over from Charlize Theron’s portrayal in the previous film.

Directed by Miller, who co-wrote the script with Nico Lathouris, the film explores Furiosa’s early life. It reveals how she was taken from the Green Place of Many Mothers and thrown into the harsh world ruled by the Warlord Dementus and Immortan Joe. As she fights to survive, Furiosa navigates various allegiances and rivalries, shaping her into the formidable leader seen in Fury Road.

Chris Hemsworth and Tom Burke are among the other stars of the film, which was produced by Miller and Doug Mitchell and premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
