Furiosa is finally making her way home. On August 16th, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the 2024 prequel from visionary director George Miller, will be streaming on Max. For fans of physical media, the film’s 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray release is set for August 13th. It’s now available for pre-order via Amazon.
Set in the dystopian world of the Mad Max franchise, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stars Anya Taylor-Joy as Furiosa, a role for which Charlize Theron earned significant critical acclaim in the 2015 installment. Taylor-Joy appears in the film alongside Chris Hemsworth, who plays an unhinged foe known as the Warlord Dementus.
Following in the footsteps of Tom Hardy’s time the titular role, when he had less than 100 lines in Mad Max: Fury Road, Taylor-Joy only spoke 30 lines of dialogue throughout the entire run time of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.
While the film wasn’t quite the box office success Warner Brothers hoped to see, Furiosa was well received by critics and audiences who did make it to the theater.
