Mad Max: Fury Road is a 2015 Australian post-apocalyptic action film co-written, co-produced, and directed by George Miller. Miller collaborated with Brendan McCarthy and Nico Lathouris on the screenplay. The fourth instalment and a "revisiting"[7] of the Mad Max franchise, it was produced by Village Roadshow Pictures, Kennedy Miller Mitchell and RatPac-Dune Entertainment and distributed by Roadshow Entertainment in Australia and by Warner Bros. Pictures internationally. The film stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton. Set in a post-apocalyptic desert wasteland where gasoline and water are scarce commodities, Fury Road follows Max Rockatansky, who joins forces with Imperator Furiosa to flee from cult leader Immortan Joe and his army in an armoured tanker truck, leading to a lengthy road battle.

Miller came on the idea for Fury Road in 1987; however, the film was in development hell for many years with pre-production starting in 1998. Attempts to shoot the film in the 2000s were delayed numerous times due to the September 11 attacks, the Iraq War and controversies surrounding star Mel Gibson, leading Miller to recasting Gibson’s role of Max Rockatansky respectfully. Miller decided to pursue the film again in 2007, after the release of the animated comedy Happy Feet. In 2009, Miller announced that filming would begin in early 2011. Hardy was cast as Max in June 2010, with production planned to begin that November. Principal photography was delayed several more times before beginning in July 2012. The film wrapped in December 2012, although additional footage was shot in November 2013.

Fury Road premiered at Los Angeles on 7 May 2015, and was released in Australia on 14 May. Although it is the highest-grossing Mad Max film, Fury Road underperformed at the box office, grossing $374.7 million worldwide against its $154.6–185.1 million production budget and incurring overall losses of up to $20–40 million. Despite this, the film was praised by critics for Miller's direction, screenplay, action sequences, musical score, cinematography, editing, costume design, visuals, and its performances (particularly from Hardy and Theron). Considered one of the greatest action films of all time and one of the best films of the 2010s, Fury Road received numerous accolades, with ten Academy Award nominations at the 88th Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director, and won the most awards of the ceremony with six awards for Best Costume Design, Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing.

After a pay dispute between Warner Bros. and Miller delayed early efforts to produce follow-up projects, a prequel, Furiosa, is set for release on 24 May 2024, with Miller returning as writer and director.
