“Remember me?”
Visionary filmmaker George Miller invites you to witness the rise of Imperator Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) in the highly anticipated Mad Max spin-off, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Taking place years before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa offers a glimpse into who the fan-favorite protagonist was before becoming a mechanically armed hero. Fans of the franchise may still be waiting for another proper entry in the Mad Max franchise with Tom Hardy, but a Furiosa prequel is certainly nothing to scoff at.
At its core, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga follows one woman on a quest for vengeance. After being ripped from her home by a deranged bandit leader known as Dr. Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), Furiosa forms a reluctant alliance with future Mad Max villain Immortan Joe (Lachy Hulme). With that, it’s off to the races for another desert-based demolition derby in one of the action genre’s best franchises. To find out when, where, and how you can watch George Miller’s long-awaited return to the Wasteland, here is where you can watch Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

Is ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’ in Theaters?
A visual spectacle like a Mad Max film is one that must be seen on the big screen if possible. Thankfully, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will indeed be released exclusively in the theaters this late May. May is typically a big opening month for the summer box office, though things did get off to a rough start when the still-critically acclaimed The Fall Guy fell below expectations. That said, things picked up again with the release of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which is already breaking the box office for the Planet of the Apes series. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will also be opening the week after John Krasinski‘s IF and will be released the very same day as The Garfield Movie.
Being a production of Warner Bros. Discovery, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga will likely become available to stream on Max at a later date.

Watch the Trailer for ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’
The latest trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga was debuted by Warner Bros. Discovery on March 19, 2024, giving a deeper glimpse into what the titular wastelander will get up to in her gripping origin story. As a child, Furiosa was abducted by followers of Dr. Dementus, who recently discovered the green and luscious “Green Place” that she once called home. Being taken away from her mother (Charlee Fraser) planted the seeds of bitter resentment within young Furiosa, and she vowed to reunite with her one day. She also swears vengeance on Dr. Dementus and is willing to do anything to take him down, even if it means allying with the dastardly Immortan Joe.
Other ‘Mad Max’ Movies You Can Watch Right Now
‘Mad Max’ (1979)
Many don’t know that the 1979 Mad Max is the first film in the series, instead think the film’s far more successful sequel is. That’s partially because Mad Max is a unique entry as it’s a movie that does not technically take place in the post-apocalypse, but instead within a society just on the edge. Serving as a star vehicle for director George Miller and lead actor (Mel Gibson), the film offers a glimpse into the life of Max Rockstansky before the world fell, with him taking on a violent and cruel gang of bikers. Mad Max is available to stream on Max.
‘Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior’ (1981)
Mad Max may have started the long-running franchise, but it’s Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior that turned the series into what it is today. Now thoroughly implanted in a post-apocalyptic setting, Max is now a lone wanderer cruising through the Wasteland in his All-Black Interceptor, with him still reeling from the loss of his family in the prior film. Though his main goal seems to only be motivated by survival, Max’s better nature and conscience leads him to come to the aid of a near-defenseless community, now under attack by a cruel warlord known as Lord Humungus (Kjell Nilsson). Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior is available to stream on Max.
‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ (2015)
It’s never been made explicitly clear if Mad Max: Fury Road is a direct sequel to the original Mad Max trilogy, but frankly, it doesn’t matter. The fourth Mad Max film is a glorious return to form for George Miller and may very well be his magnum opus. Here, Max (Tom Hardy) is captured by Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) and is looking for a means of escape. Max ends up forming a partnership with the rogue Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron), who has betrayed Immortan Joe after she rescued Joe’s harem of imprisoned wives. Mad Max: Fury Road is available to stream on Max.
