Mad Max Fury Road

Mad Max Fury Road is a movie that is up for a lot of Oscars. Here is a recap of what all happened during that movie.

Here is the setup of the movie. There was a nuclear holocaust and because of it the world is now a desert wasteland with no civilization. The name character is played by Tom Hardy, and his name is Max Rockatansky. He is captured by the War Boys, which is the army of the Immortan Joe. Max is then taken to Joe’s camp area town area thing, and Max is determined to be a universal blood donor. Therefore, he is imprisoned and used as a blood bag for a sick war boy named Nux. At the same time Charlize Therone, who in the movie is named Furiosa, is driving a war rig to collect gasoline. She takes Joe’s five wives and drives off route to escape, so Joe sends many of his men, the War Boys, and even more, after her.

Nux joined the chase and took Max along as his blood bag, in which Furiosa and Nux both drive into a sand storm, in which the later’s car is destroyed. Max then restrains Nux. Max then leaves with the War Rig with Furiosa and the wives, while the War Boys pick up Nux.

Furiosa then drives through a biker gang-controlled canyon to barter a deal for safe passage; however, with Joe's forces pursuing, the gang turns on her, forcing her and the group to flee while the bikers detonate the canyon walls to block Joe. Max and Furiosa fought bikers as Joe's car, with Nux now on board, passed the blockade and eventually attacked the War Rig, allowing Nux to board. However, as the Rig escapes, Angharad falls off in an attempt to protect Max and is run over by Joe's car, killing her and her child.

Furiosa explains to Max that they are escaping to the "Green Place," an idyllic land she remembers from her childhood. Capable finds Nux hiding in the Rig, distraught over his failure, and consoles him. That night, the Rig gets stuck in mud. Furiosa and Max slow Joe's forces with mines, but Joe's ally, the Bullet Farmer, continues pursuing them. Nux helps Max free the Rig while Furiosa shoots and blinds the Bullet Farmer. Max walks into the dark to confront the Bullet Farmer and his men, returning with guns and ammunition.

They drive the War Rig overnight through swampland and desert, coming across a naked woman the next day. Max suspects a trap, but Furiosa approaches the woman and states her history and clan affiliation. The naked woman summons her clan, the Vuvalini, who recognise Furiosa as one of their own who was kidnapped as a child. Furiosa is devastated to learn that the swampland they passed was indeed the Green Place, now uninhabitable. The group then plans to ride motorbikes across immense salt flatsin the hope of finding a new home. Max chooses to stay behind, but after seeing visions of a child he failed to save, he convinces them to return to the undefended Citadel, which has ample water and greenery that Joe keeps for himself, and trap Joe and his army in the bikers' canyon.

The group heads back to the Citadel, but they are attacked en route by Joe's forces, and Furiosa is seriously wounded. Joe positions his car in front of the War Rig to slow it, while Max fights Joe's giant son, Rictus Erectus. Joe captures Toast who manages to distract him long enough for Furiosa to kill him by hooking Joe's mask to the wheels and thus tearing his face. Nux sacrifices himself by wrecking the Rig, killing Rictus and blocking the canyon, allowing Max, Furiosa, the wives, and the Vuvalini to escape successfully in Joe's car, where Max transfuses his blood to Furiosa to help her survive her injuries.

At the Citadel, the impoverished citizens are overjoyed at the sight of Joe's corpse. Furiosa, the wives, and the Vuvalini are cheered by the people and welcomed by the remaining War Boys, but Max walks away, sharing a glance with Furiosa before disappearing into the crowd.
