Overview

This fourth installment of the Australian post-apocalyptic Mad Max series won six Oscars, many for its design. That begs the question: If the design isn’t broken, why fix it? Director George Miller originally countered the overplayed desaturated look in dystopian films with vibrant color in Fury Road. Realizing he could buck the trend with no color, he created the Black and Chrome (black and white) edition to a second set of rave reviews. Grease-striped Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) goes on a roadtrip with a loner named Max (Tom Hardy). Together and with the help of a band of female prisoners, they zoom down the Outback on big rigs, squashing the patriarchy along the way.
