Furiosa When Exactly Did the World End in 'Mad Max' Ana Taylor joy
The Big Picture Another chapter in George Miller's post-apocalyptical madness, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga drove into theaters this past weekend. This time, the story begins as a young Imperator Furiosa is abducted from her home and swears to get her revenge on those who did it. Some 19 years later, she joins forces with Max Rockatansky to get back to her homeland — the same Max from the very first Mad Max movie, when society was still crumbling.
After the first movie, it takes another unspecified number of years until The Road Warrior. Its preamble gives us the first real hints about what happened to the world. It mentions how "the world was powered by black fuel," and "deserts sprouted great cities of pipe and steel." From a geopolitical perspective, it says that "two mighty warrior tribes went to war," and what followed was "a blaze which engulfed them all.
The same prologue for Fury Road is shown at the beginning of Furiosa but without Max's narration. Instead, there are only newscasts talking about environmental collapse, the Oil Wars, and the Water Wars. There are also firsthand accounts of people talking about how "the earth went sour" and they "have become half-life" as a consequence of the nuclear conflict that turned everything to dust.
