Additionally, the series has greatly impacted pop culture, especially apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic fiction. The film series centers on the exploits of Max Rockatansky, a police officer in future Australia when conflict and severe resource shortages have caused society to implode. The upcoming film in the franchise will be a prequel spin-off to Fury Road.

She serves as Immortan Joe’s war captain but rebels against him to rescue The Five Wives. Furiosa’s character has won praise from critics worldwide as a strong female action heroine who introduces feminist ideas to the franchise.
