Mad Max: Fury Road

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern May. 15, 2015 Entertainment
George Miller, whose Mad Max gave the movie medium a new genre almost four decades ago, is back with Mad Max: Fury Road.

Mad Max: Fury Road is a gleefully violent -- and improbably feminist -- phantasmagoria that turns epic road rage and long stretches of vehicular omnicide into an eye-boggling joy ride.
