The Splendid Angharad, who Joe has made pregnant, shields Furiosa, but falls from the Rig and is run over by Joe's car, killing her and his child in the process.

Nux boards the Rig while Joe attempts to shoot Furiosa.

Max and Furiosa fend off the pursuing Bikers but Joe's vehicle evades the blockade and assaults the Rig. However, Joe's forces are in hot pursuit and Furiosa escapes even as the Bikers detonate the nearby canyon walls to block Joe's path with rubble. She has made a deal with them to allow her to go in return for supplying them with thousands of gallons of fuel. Furiosa then powers her War Rig right through the Biker gang stronghold and gets inside a small canyon. Max then has to choice but to agree to allow Furiosa and the Wives accompany him, while Nux who has been abandoned, staggers back to Immortan. Max commandeers the Rig, but its pre-programmed kill-switch disables the truck after barely a mile or so. Max staggers towards Furiosa and sees her doing maintenance on her Rig, and the Wives, who are outside and washing the dust and grime off themselves. But nux who tries to sacrifice himself in a blaze of glory to stop Furiosa remains chained to Max. In the ensuing battle between Furiosa and Joe’s army, Furiosa boldly makes for a terrible sandstorm, which allows her to evade Joe for the time being. He later falls for one of the Five Wives and then joins forces with Max and Furiosa.

Nux has a moment of realization when one of the Five Wives tells him that he is just a pawn in an old man’s army. Angered, Joe takes out his entire War Boy army to get Furiosa, enlisting the help of forces from Gas Town and the Bullet Farm – two areas that are close by. Joe find out that his Five Wives - genetically pure women who are selected for bearing his children - are not in the prison he keeps them locked in. Suddenly and without warning, Furiosa steers the vehicle off the designated route. Elsewhere, in another scene, Furiosa steers drives her heavily-armed and armored truck called a War Rig to deliver some supplies. Max is special as he has been earmarked as a universal blood donor, and is therefore used by Immortan as a blood bag for the sick War Boy Nux (Nicholas Hoult). This one is located in Australia and Max has been taken prisoner by the War Boys, the hordes controlled by the evil warlord, King Immortan Joe. Civilization as we know it has collapsed and in its place, a subhuman race. PLOT SUMMARY Planet Earth has been turned into an arid, sun-baked wasteland in a post-apocalyptic future.
