Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior
15

A Leeds International Film Festival Screening
Today – Thu 14 Nov
In Mad Max 2, director George Miller builds the foundation for his iconic saga, expanding his dystopian world as Max battles to survive in a brutal wasteland where gasoline is King. 
Sci-Fi • Violent • Dystopian
Part of Burning Rubber, Crossing Borders

The return of Max Rockatansky cemented George Miller’s vision of bizarre, post-apocalyptic Australia, where people have peculiar names (‘Lord Humungus’, ‘The Toadie’), and everything is recycled from something else. Years after World War III, gasoline is the most valuable commodity and loner Max strikes a cold, hard bargain with a besieged community of settlers who strive to find a secret utopia. The Mad Max films have created a world all of their own, yet they still speak of a real outlaw spirit of the outback, places of speed, distance and scarcity.

This film is part of The Burning Rubber, Crossing Borders season at Hyde Park Picture House and The Weird of Oz programme at Leeds International Film Festival 2024. 

Screenings of this film are at Vue, Light in Leeds. 

Tickets are available to buy from leedsfilm.com or at the Carriageworks Theatre Box Office.

Part of Burning Rubber, Crossing Borders

Car races and chases have been a key feature of action cinema since the silent era. From The Crowd Roars (1932) to Bullitt (1968), to the present day with franchises like Fast & Furious, audiences have long been drawn to scenes of vehicular mayhem.
