Mad Max: The Road Warrior (1981)

The meek shall inherit the earth. Wrong. Not in the bleak near-future of the second of three Mad Max movies. Mel Gibson stars in the film that made him an international superstar as Max, a former cop reduced to scavenging for gasoline--the decaying world's most prized commodity--ashe cruises the barren, post-apocalyptic Outback along highways crawling with human vermin.
