Furiosa was tasked with driving the armored "War Rig" truck to trade with Joe's allies, but she's got her own agenda; she has Joe's five "wives" stashed in the Rig and is helping them escape.

When Joe realizes what's happening, he leads his forces in hot pursuit. Max and Furiosa cross paths during the chase, and reluctantly forge an alliance, fleeing Joe and his zealous forces as they relentlessly pursue them across the Wasteland.

Why you should stream 'Mad Max: Fury Road' on Netflix

If you're looking for a movie to get your pulse racing, "Mad Max: Fury Road" is the movie to stream.

It cannot be overstated just how much fun "Fury Road" is to watch. From start to finish, this extended car chase is raucously entertaining stuff, packed with stupefying, utterly thrilling setpiece moments.

Frankly, I still struggle to get my head around how some of what's here actually made it to our screens in the first place.

It's not just the action that impresses, though; everything here is impeccably realized. Every element, from the costumes to the vehicles through to the movie's most out-there or memorable details (The Doof Warrior, anyone) works in service of realizing a trademark dystopian, punk aesthetic.

Add in two fantastic lead turns and you have a barbarous, anarchic and singularly thrilling action movie that could keep anyone glued to their screens for two glorious hours. There's a reason it's took the top spot when we ranked every "Mad Max" movie.

"Fury Road's" critical reputation speaks for itself, too. At the time of writing, it holds a very impressive 97% critics rating on the review aggregate site, Rotten Tomatoes.

That's particularly impressive when you consider that score is derived from more than 400 individual reviews.

As an example of just what critics have said about "Mad Max: Fury Road", look at Empire writer Ian Nathan's 5-star review, wherein the writer praised it as "a triumph of barking-mad imagination, jaw-dropping action, crackpot humour, and acting in the face of a hurricane."

Writing for THR, Todd McCarthy was similarly effusive, writing: "This madly entertaining new action extravaganza energetically kicks more ass, as well as all other parts of the anatomy, than any film ever made by a 70-year-old — and does so far more skillfully than those turned out by most young turks half his age."
