Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is the 2024 post-apocalyptic action film directed and produced by George Miller. It is the fifth installment in Miller's Mad Max franchise, and the first not focused on series protagonist Max Rockatansky, instead acting as both a spinoff prequel to Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and an origin story for the Fury Road character Furiosa. Caught in the crossfire of two tyrannical warlords; as they fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in a battle to make her way home. Rated R
