A LONE WARRIOR SEARCHING FOR HIS DESTINY… A TRIBE OF LOST CHILDREN WAITING FOR A HERO… IN A WORLD BATTLING TO SURVIVE, THEY FACE A WOMAN DETERMINED TO RULE.
15 years after the last movie, Max (Mel Gibson) reaches a rowdy place called Bartertown, which is run by the ruthless Auntie Entity (Tina Turner); she has to rely on a dwarf (Angelo Rossitto) controlling the one thing Bartertown depends on – a methane refinery. The third part in this franchise may have a higher budget helping to create an elaborate dystopian community and a wonderful chase involving a train in the last half-hour that is easily the highlight. But except for Gibson and Turner, the movie lacks compelling characters and storylines.
