Mad Max: Review

This highly original, low-budget genre export from Australia gave the young Mel Gibson his first starring role and set the tone for a generation of postapocalyptic sci-fi flicks. Set in a near future in which the highways are terrorized by packs of lunatic speed demons, Gibson's wife and son are killed by a psychotic gang of road rats. Left with nothing to live for, Gibson turns avenger, dons his black leather uniform, fuels up his V-8 and hits the road. Read the complete review for Mad Max
