Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior

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--as he cruises the barren, post-apocalyptic Outback along highways crawling with human vermin

Where was Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior Set?
The film is set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic Australian outback, where gasoline is a scarce and highly coveted resource. Key locations include a fortified oil refinery compound and the vast, barren landscapes that serve as battlegrounds between survivors and marauders. Filming primarily took place around Silverton and Broken Hill in New South Wales, Australia, with notable sites such as the Mundi Mundi Plains providing the expansive desert backdrop essential to the film's setting.
