In the ravaged near future, a savage motorcycle gang rules the road. Terrorising innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of the police force bent on stopping them. But they underestimate one officer: Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson). And when the bikers brutalise Max's best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him with only one thing left in the world to live for - revenge!
