Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1982)
Also known as:
The Road Warrior, Road Warrior, Mad Max 2
Mel Gibson plays Max, the heroic loner who drives the roads of outback Australia in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defends of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by The Humungus. With The Road Warrior on your side, screen action doesn't get any better.
