An overwhelming end-of-the-century action story presented on an extraordinary scale!

The success of the previous film, `` Mad Max '' (1979), opened Australian films to a global market. The film was able to overcome the budget constraints of 350,000 Australian dollars - or 400,000 Australian dollars, but in any case it is cheap for a movie production cost - with outstanding creativity and ingenuity, and the movie became a shock sensation all over the world. It was received with praise. That impact still inspires and excites many creators both in Japan and abroad.

Director George Miller immediately began work on a sequel following the commercial and critical success of Mad Max. Three sequels have been produced so far, and among them, the second film, The Road Warrior(1981), has had a tremendous influence on later generations of culture in general. The production cost was approximately 10 times higher (4 million Australian dollars), and the film is depicted on an overwhelming scale that exceeds all of its predecessors.

“The Road Warrior” preview

The Road Warrior takes place several years after the previous film. It depicts a near future where civilization has been destroyed by war between major powers. The film uses so-called ``apocalypse'' as its subject matter, and vividly depicts bloody action against the backdrop of the deserted outback (a sparsely populated region of inland Australia). In the previous film, ``Mad Max,'' we could feel the slightest trace of civilization, but in this film, we see that the glorious civilization of mankind has been completely destroyed by an unprecedented world war.

In this world, oil determines the value of everything. People travel through the wilderness in search of oil, and are sometimes forced into bloody conflicts. Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson), a lone wolf who has lost the will to live and wanders in the wilderness, also finds himself thrown into a gruesome battle over oil...

Stories about the apocalyptic world, often referred to as post-apocalyptic (sometimes referred to as the end of the century), have been around for a long time, even before the appearance of The Road Warrior. So why does this film continue to be loved and appreciated all over the world, despite its setting having been repeated many times in film history? The answer seems to be hidden in the universality of mythology. Let's unravel the famous book `` The Hero with a Thousand Faces '' (published by Hayakawa Shobo), which discusses heroic myths from all over the world, and discover its secrets.
