Mad Max Fury Road

Charlize Theron makes everyone angry by driving a big lorry full of ladies the wrong way through the desert. Everyone chases her so she turns around and goes back to where she started. Some of the ladies survive. Mad Max gets a lift with her for a bit.

Trivia

Originally called Mad Max: Hyacinth Lane, the name was changed to Fury Road after objections from residents in Hyacinth Lane, Bittesford.
