Watch Mad Max 2

The second installment in the Australian Mad Max film series, Mad Max 2 debuted in 1981 and was a theatrical and critical success. Starring Mel Gibson and directed by George Miller, Mad Max 2 is also called The Road Warrior. The film depicts a post-apocalyptic wasteland where a global war due to the worldwide gasoline and fuel shortage has left the world chaotic, totally devoid of any kind of law or order. It more closely resembles the wild west with the protagonist, Max (Mel Gibson), at the center of an action-filled plot.

The sequel begins where the first film left off, with Max on the run to escape gangs and marauders and scavenging for food and supplies with his faithful canine companion, Dog. He becomes embroiled in a dispute with two feuding groups of people, the settlers and the marauders who attack and imprison them. The settlers must fight for their survival against these marauders, who want to obtain the last of the oil in the area.
