As what is left of civilisation completely disintegrates, it's every man for himself. Survival of the fittest. No loyalty, no honour - just survival. However, even in these unforgiving times - old enemies still find time to do battle. Max Rockatansky leads a group of settlers towards a long forgotten oil refinery, intent on repairing the works and to use the fuel to begin a new society, a fair society and a peaceful society. Unbeknown to Max, another very different group have also got wind of the abandoned refinery and plan to take it over themselves and use the fuel to extend their reign of terror across the outback. This group of murderers, thieves and scousers is led by Lord Humungus - an evil tyrant who Max thought he had killed years earlier. As both groups converge on the refinery a brutal and almighty battle breaks out. At stake is not just the future of each group - but of society itself.
