![]() ![]() Entity is a glamorous, Amazon-like figure who recognises a strength of character in Max, and hopes to exploit him to gain sole control of Bartertown from Master. Tina Turner as Aunty Entity, the ruthless, determined ruler of Bartertown. ![]() Max roves the desert aimlessly, his existence entirely based around self-survival. Mel Gibson as "Mad" Max Rockatansky, a former MFP officer and lone warrior.Savannah, now leader of the group, recites a nightly story of their journey and the man who saved them, as Max, still alive in the desert, wanders on to places unknown. Years later, the children have established a small society of themselves and other lost wanderers in the ruins. Jedediah flies the children to the coast, where they discover the nuclear-devastated ruins of Sydney. Aunty spares his life, having come to respect him she says sardonically, "Well - ain't we a pair, raggedy man? Goodbye, soldier," and departs to presumably make good on her vow to rebuild Bartertown. Max uses his vehicle to clear a path through Aunty's men, allowing the aeroplane to take off and escape, leaving him at Aunty's mercy. The group comes across Jedediah and his son, and Max coerces Jedediah into helping his group escape with their aeroplane. Max's group slows them down while Scrooloose hijacks one of the pursuing vehicles, which happens to be Max's stolen vehicle. Aunty leads the inhabitants in pursuit, catching up to the train. The group sneak in via the underground, and, with Pig Killer's help, free Master and escape in a train-truck, destroying Bartertown's methane refinery in the process. With no supplies left, they are forced to head for Bartertown. They find Savannah's group in danger but are unable to save one of the children from a sinkhole. Their leader, Slake M'Thirst, asks Max to go after them, and he agrees, taking a few of the children with him to help. Some of the children, led by Savannah, leave anyway, determined to find the prophesied "Tomorrow-morrow Land." Max stops them by force, but another tribe member known as Scrooloose, sets them free during the night and leaves with them. Max denies this and insists that they remain in the relative safety of the oasis, knowing that the only "civilization" within reach is Bartertown. They believe Max to be the flight captain, returned to fix the aeroplane and fly them to civilization. The children, survivors of a crashed Boeing 747, were left by their parents who went to find civilization. Near death, Max is found by a desert dweller named Savannah Nix, who hauls him back to her home, a primitive community of children and teenagers who live in an oasis. As his horse perishes in a sinkhole, Max frees himself and presses on. An enraged Aunty has Blaster executed, Master imprisoned, and Max exiled, bound, masked, and sent on a horse in a random direction to the wasteland. Master, previously unaware of this covert deal to kill Blaster, is furious and vows to shut down the refinery and, by extension, Bartertown. He refuses to kill him after discovering he is developmentally disabled and has the functional mentality of a child, telling Aunty it was not part of their deal, revealing her plot. Max then faces Blaster in the Thunderdome and uses his weakness to gain the upper hand. Here he discovers that Blaster is exceptionally strong but extremely sensitive to high-pitched noises. Max finds his stolen vehicle in Master Blaster's possession, and helps disarm his booby-trapped engine to converse with him. Max enters the refinery to size up Master Blaster and befriends Pig Killer, a convict sentenced to work for slaughtering a pig to feed his family. Aunty instructs Max to provoke a confrontation with Blaster in Thunderdome, a gladiatorial arena where conflicts are resolved by a duel to the death. "Master Blaster" holds an uneasy truce with Aunty for control of Bartertown however, Master has begun to challenge Aunty's leadership. She offers to resupply his vehicle and equipment if he completes a task for her.Īunty explains that Bartertown depends on a crude methane refinery powered by pig feces, which is run by a dwarf called Master and his giant bodyguard Blaster. While refused entry at first, Max is brought before the founder and ruler of Bartertown, the ruthless Aunty Entity. Continuing on foot, Max follows their trail to the seedy community of Bartertown. With the world climate altered to a parched nuclear summer, Max Rockatansky crosses the Australian desert in a camel-drawn wagon when he is attacked by a pilot named Jedediah and his son in a Transavia PL-12 Airtruk, stealing his wagon and belongings.
