Among those is a very peculiar man who caught the attention of the audience as he appears standing on one of Joe’s tanks playing a flame-throwing electric guitar amidst the chase. Immortan Joe’s War Boys live to serve him, but that comes with a big price as they all suffer from severe health issues, recurring to constant blood transfusions to prolong their lives.

Imperator Furiosa leads Joe’s wives in a dangerous escape while forging an alliance with Max, a former captive. In a world where civilization collapsed years ago, the tyrannical Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) enslaves survivors inside a desert fortress called the Citadel.
