Popcorn Taxi proudly presents a one-off event never seen on this scale since the film's launch in 1979.Mad Max is set in a dystopian near-future society suffering from a prolonged fuel shortage. Civil order is rapidly deteriorating and lawless gangs rampage across the desolate landscape, in defiance of the crumbling police force, the Main Force Patrol (MFP).
An escaped cop killer, the Nightrider, is killed during a high-speed pursuit by a young MFP patrolman, Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson). The Nightrider's comrades, a motorcycle gang led by the Toecutter (Hugh Keays-Byrne), hold Max and his partner 'Goose' (Steve Bisley) responsible.
A chain of events will force Max to throw away his moral and civil responsibilities and with the help of a super-charged V8 XB Falcon 'Interceptor' ... it's war.
For thirty years, Mad Max held a record in The Guinness Book of Records as the highest profit-to-cost ratio of a motion picture ever, conceding only in 2009 to Paranormal Activity.
Popcorn Taxi is ecstatic to bring this Australian watermark of cinema to the big screen for one night only to launch the Australian Film Festival - and give old and new audiences not only the chance to experience one of the most influential films of all time, but to also chat to the filmmakers responsible.
