Less than a month after leaving theaters, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” got a streaming debut date. The film enters the Max catalog, HBO’s streaming service, on Sunday, July 7th.
The title is a prequel to “Fury Road” (2015) and is focused on Empress Furiosa, who in the first film is played by Charlize Theron and now, younger, for Anya Taylor-Joy .
In the story, young Furiosa falls into the hands of a massive horde of bikers led by the warlord Dementus, played by Chris Hemsworth. Sweeping across the Wasteland, they encounter the Citadel, presided over by Immortan Joe. As the two tyrants fight for dominance, Furiosa soon finds herself in an all-out battle to return home.
The film is directed by George Miller responsible for the other films in the franchise, as well as hits such as “The Witches of Eastwick” (1987), “Babe: The Little Pig” (1995) and “Happy Feet” (2006).
The saga began in 1979 with the film “Mad Max” . The sequence, “Mad Max 2: The Hunt Continues”, was released in 1981 and the third film, “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome”, in 1985. The post-apocalyptic universe returned with “Mad Max: Fury Road” in 2015. Now, “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” will be the fifth film in the franchise.
