Why watch this?
This is Gibson's last turn as Max. He does not disappoint.

Following an encounter with airborne bandits, Max is drawn to
Bartertown, a precarious settlement presided over by the
formidable Aunty Entity. Here, he becomes entangled in a power
struggle and is forced to confront opponents in the notorious

Dad's Preview:
This film sees our favorite post-apocalypse wanderer coming to Bartertown. After assessing
Max's
considerable skills, the town's main gang leader, Auntie Entity
(Ms. Tina Turner) captures Max, but allows him to barter for his freedom.
He must kill the
man, Master, who controls all the city's methane gas. To do this,
he must battle Master's mighty protector, Blaster, inside Thunderdome ("Two
men enter, One man leave" - chant it with me!).
This film is crammed full of explosive action. However, it is
R&B singer Tina
Turner, prancing around like a tigress, who captivates with some serious acting chops.
