The film is set before the events of Mad Max: Fury Road and chronicles the story of Furiosa in various stages of life. We see her getting snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and into the hands of a Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. As the two Tyrants, Dementus and Immortan Joe, war for dominance over the Citadel, Furiosa survives many trials as she tries to find her way back home.
