Post-apocalyptic movies are an integral subgenre of science fiction, as any scenario in which humanity is forced to fight for its survival presents an inherently compelling dilemma for audiences. Many films with similar premises premiered both before and since George Miller first ventured into the Australian desert, but the Mad Max series remains the definitive post-apocalyptic movie franchise.
Although the film still holds up today due to the practical filmmaking involved, the first Mad Max is saddled with more exposition than any of the other films in the franchise. Its sequels take place after the world has already descended into madness, but Mad Max starts in a fairly recognizable world that steadily declines.
3 ‘Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior’ Worldwide gross: $23,668,605 Although great science fiction sequels often succeed by deepening the audience’s understanding of the original film, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior won at the box office because it didn’t necessitate knowledge of the more obscure first film. The original Mad Max hadn’t received widespread distribution outside of Australia, and the sequel was ostensibly marketed as The Road Warrior to avoid alienating those unfamiliar with the first film.
