The originalMad Maxis good fun, but it’s also incredibly low budget, and therefore doesn’t have the scale that you can tell director George Miller was really going for. Its success propelled things to a new level for its sequel, though.

Mad Max: The Road Warrioris bigger in every way, with huge chases, crazy vehicles and even some air-to-ground combat in one of its craziest action sequences. Watching it, you get a way more direct sense of how things would eventually progress to the enormous set-pieces of bothFury RoadandFuriosa.

Mad Max: The Road Warrior

It also has something to boast about – it’s only 95 minutes long, which is just about the perfect length for an action movie. In fact, being thebest streaming servicemight not just be about the pure quality of your films – having a bunch of shorter movies is key, too.

The Road Warriorisn’t just the sort of movie that fans love, though, and it backed up its claims to fame with an impressive94% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes– so you can trust that it’s genuinely great. It’s also much less camp than the next sequel,Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

If you’re here in the UK and you have a Prime Video subscription, this is one that you should definitely get on your watchlist just after the month ends – it’ll disappear on 7 October 2024. That gives you plenty of time to watch it, but it’s still worth setting a reminder in case you get close to the line!
