Hugh Keays-Byrne and George Miller "Don't Talk" PSA


George Miller's uncompromising vision of an apocalyptic wasteland future CONTINUES! Society is in total decay and homicidal maniac gangs rule the barren Earth. Then, when hope seemed lost and anarchy prevailing, the fiery decaying soil opened up and gave birth to the hardest man to have ever walked the Earth, Max Rockatansky, a man who drinks gasoline and eats bullets. In this wasteland he is the one who runs from both the living and the dead. A man reduced to a single instinct...survive. Teamed up with Furiosa, a woman of action with a mechanical arm, the two battle their way through the chaotic maelstrom of flipping cars and flame throwing annihilators to cross the cursed Earth and reach their ultimate salvation. Featuring some of the most insane practical stunts put to celluloid in the past 20 years MAD MAX: FURY ROAD is the movie to see this summer.
