Co-written and directed by the legendary George Miller (all films Mad Max, Happy Feet, Babe), Furiosa also includes Chris Hemsworth (Thor) to his casting, in the role of the implacable Dementus.

It is the fifth film in the series Mad Maxwhich narrates the adventures of Max Rockatansky in the heart of a world in chaos, torn apart by the lack of water and fuel.

After the first film in 1979, the saga had several sequels: Mad Max 2: the challenge (1981) and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985), again with Mel Gibson in the title role.

The franchise underwent a reboot in 2015 with the cult film Mad Max: Fury Road, and the Tom Hardy / Charlize Theron duo. Beyond a solid success at the box office (370 million dollars collected for a budget of 150 million), this opus established itself as one of the most visionary productions of recent years, and relaunched the saga.

With a comfortable budget of 168 million dollars, Furiosa was filmed from May to October 2022 in Australia. The film is scheduled in French cinemas for May 22, 2024. A preview presentation at the next Cannes Film Festival is highly probable.
