It is a couple of years in the future. The highways of Australia are ruled by violent gangs who have turned the highways into a battleground as they loot gasoline and terrorize the innocent. Max Rockatansky is a policeman who had everything, until a murderous motorcycle gang led by the evil Toecutter kills his partner Jim Goose, after Max killed their leader "The Knight Rider". Losing his rocker, Max sets out to get his revenge on the motorcycle gang and become "Mad Max".—Daniel Williamson
