Plot summary
Young Furiosa lives in the Green Place of Many Mothers, one of the last places with fresh water and crops after the world falls. While she and her friend Valkyrie pick peaches, raiders seize Furiosa and take her to Dementus, the leader of a biker horde. Dementus's horde sweeps through the wasteland and comes upon the Citadel, a fortress ruled by the warlord Immortan Joe. The two tyrants battle for dominance. Furiosa must survive the conflict between them and, as she grows older, find a way back home. She tattoos a star chart on her left arm to remember the way.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The action sequence where raiders ambush the War Rig, known during production as 'Stowaway to Nowhere', took 78 days to shoot, with close to 200 stunt performers working on it every day.
- Miller and Lathouris hoped at one point to turn their Furiosa screenplay into an anime film directed by Mahiro Maeda, who had worked on The Animatrix, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Porco Rosso.
- Director George Miller and co-writer Nico Lathouris spent over fifteen years writing Mad Max: Fury Road and developing character backstories, and their Furiosa-centered screenplay was used by Charlize Theron as a reference for her Fury Road performance.
- Miller cast Taylor-Joy after seeing her in an early cut of Last Night in Soho and auditioning her with the 'Mad as Hell' monologue from Network; Last Night in Soho director Edgar Wright told Miller to grab the opportunity to work with her.
- Hemsworth had applied for the title role in Mad Max: Fury Road in 2010, but it went to Tom Hardy; Hemsworth later said he was not a big enough star then, as his Thor role had not yet debuted.
- Rising Sun Pictures used machine learning to blend Taylor-Joy's and Browne's faces as Furiosa ages; about 35% of Browne's face was modified at the start, rising to 80% in her final Citadel scenes.
- Miller vetoed reusing Fury Road's 'Brothers in Arms' during the Bullet Farm sequence because he wanted the audience focused on Furiosa being willing to sacrifice her best chance at the Green Place to save Jack, so Holkenborg used Fury Road's Green Place motifs instead.
- Furiosa was the most expensive film in Australian history, with a budget of AU$333.2 million, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
