Mad Max, the post-apocalyptic action film series created by George Miller and Byron Kennedy, is set to get its next installment this summer, with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The first film in the series debuted in 1979, followed by three additional installments: The Road Warrior, Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, and the Oscar-winning Mad Max: Fury Road. Additionally, the series has greatly impacted pop culture, especially apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. The film series centers on the exploits of Max Rockatansky, a police officer in future Australia when conflict and severe resource shortages have caused society to implode. The upcoming film in the franchise will be a prequel spin-off to Fury Road.
