TRAILER

THE VERDICT

Synthesized from published reviews

George Miller's gritty debut is a raw piece of Australian Ozploitation that channels dystopian anxiety through high-speed highway vengeance. Mel Gibson shines as a tragic lawman pushed past the brink by a ruthless motorcycle gang in a world on the verge of collapse. While rougher around the edges than its bigger sequels, its visceral kinetic energy announces a master director at work.
