Get ready for one of the biggest blockbusters of the summer. Mad Max: Fury Road hits theaters on May 15, and you better buckle up for an explosive ride.
The fourth installment of the franchise is the first in 30 years, as well as the first to replace Mel Gibson from the lead role. Directed by George Miller and starring Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road is action-packed with car chases, explosions and the grittiness of a post-apocalyptic society.
In this dystopian society, "Mad" Max Rockatansky is forced to be a blood bag for the "war boys" but escapes to team up with Furiosa (played by Theron), who is trying to make it back home.
While the original Mad Max movies are not available to stream for free right now, there are plenty of other movies and TV shows to get you ready for this reboot.
