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

Plot Summary: 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 Thunderdome. Max is eventually banished from the town and discovers a community of children living in isolation who believe him to be their mythical savior.

Dad's Preview: Our favorite post-apocalypse wanderer comes to Bartertown. After assessing Max's considerable skills, she barters his freedom if he kills the man, Master, who controls all the city's methane gas. To do this, Max must face the man'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 shows some serious acting chops.
