The film `Mad Max: Fury Road` is 10 years old

What seemed like a bright fresh novelty has already become history...

How quickly time flies! George Miller's groundbreaking action film “Mad Max: Fury Road” is already 10 years old since its premiere. It was released on May 14, 2015.

A terrifyingly beautiful vision of a post-apocalyptic future. The struggle of hope against madness. And a fundamentally new interpretation of the film franchise with Mel Gibson. Viewers and critics were thrilled by the adrenaline-fueled desert races. The film received a sea of rave reviews and six Oscars.

Notably, the film's production used minimal computer graphics, focusing on stunt work. And of course, the professional performances by Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, and Hugh Keays-Byrne did their job. The actors expressed emotions more vividly through their eyes than words: audiences believed them unconditionally.

The success prompted the filmmakers to create an equally vibrant prequel with Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth. It was released in 2024 under the title “Furiosa: Chronicles of Mad Max”, but it was met with a much cooler reception, failing to earn the sums expected. Incidentally, George Miller previously mentioned that he had enough material not only for a prequel but also for a sequel. According to the site zoomboola.com, the continuation was supposed to be titled “Mad Max: The Wasteland”. However, the fate of this film is currently unknown. In 2024, Tom Hardy told Forbes that he doesn't hope to return to the iconic role in the mentioned action movie.
