“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” is the fifth installment in George Miller’s renowned Mad Max series and serves as a prequel to the 2015 hit, “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Starring Chris Hemsworth and Anya Taylor-Joy in leading roles, the film has garnered positive reviews from critics but struggled to draw large audiences to theaters. As a result, it is now gearing up for its online streaming release. Read on to learn where and how you can watch it online.
Plot and Setting of Furiosa
Set approximately 15 to 20 years before the events depicted in “Fury Road,” “Furiosa” explores the backstory of Charlize Theron’s character. Anya Taylor-Joy and Alyla Brown portray younger versions of Furiosa. Chris Hemsworth, in a strikingly different appearance, plays Dementus, the movie’s main antagonist. Dementus is the warlord leader of the Biker Horde, who kidnaps Furiosa and eventually becomes Gastown’s ruler.
Official Synopsis
According to the official synopsis, “As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants are in a war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.”
Box Office Performance
“Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga” premiered in North American theaters on May 24, opening to $26.3 million from 3,804 theaters. Despite a strong start, its overall box office performance has been underwhelming, with a domestic total of $63.6 million. And an international gross of $97 million. The combined worldwide earnings of $160.6 million are modest, particularly in the face of competition from major releases like “Will Smith’s Bad Boys: Ride or Die” and “Inside Out 2,” both of which dominated the box office.
