Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "The Road Warrior [HD DVD]" starring Mel Gibson to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "The Road Warrior [HD DVD]"Browse more products related to "Mel Gibson, Bruce Spence and George Miller"ReviewA strong candidate for the designation of most thrilling action movie ever made (the turbo-charged exhilaration of its full-throttle highway chases has never been equaled), the second part of George Miller's post-apocalyptic trilogy is also a magnificently imagined movie myth. Like the Star Wars trilogy (by that other George) the Mad Max films draw their inspiration from the works of mythologist Joseph Campbell. In the 1979 original, Max (Mel Gibson) is a policeman, the last guardian of civilization and order in a devastated world reduced to chaos. But when a leather-clad gang of sadomasochistic speed demons mows down Max's family, his remaining connections to humanity are also permanently severed. After brutally exacting his revenge, Max wanders off into the wasteland alone, "a burned out shell of a man" who (to paraphrase The Searchers) is destined to wander forever between the winds. In The Road Warrior, Max rediscovers a sliver of his shattered humanity, and a spark of redemption, when he helps an embattled colony of pioneers fight off the savages who are after that most precious of all commodities: "guzzline." Max is transformed into a legendary hero, just as Mel Gibson was catapulted to international movie stardom. With its final stirring images, The Road Warrior transcends its genre (whatever that may be--science fiction? Western? action adventure?) and becomes something timeless. It's a great movie. --Jim Emerson Release NoteWorld War III has just ended and the world's remaining inhabitants are on a desperate devastating struggle to survive. Gasoline is in short supply and those remaining turn on one another for the crude oil.Running Time: 95 min.Format: DVD HD Genre: SCI-FI/FANTASY UPC: 085391142614 Manufacturer No: 114261 Customer Reviews for "The Road Warrior [HD DVD] (HD-DVD)"There are no customer reviews yet.
