Cinopsys
Mad Max began in 1979 and returned in 2015 with Fury Road. Each film is close to a stand-alone story, which makes release order an easy way in.
Each Mad Max film tells its own story, so you can start almost anywhere. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) is a prequel to Fury Road, so it is a natural pairing.
