George Miller’s highly anticipated film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, has finally arrived, making its debut on Premium Digital Ownership today. Immerse yourself in the post-apocalyptic world before its physical release in August.
Oh, what a lovely day! It’s time to dust off your wasteland ride because George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga has emerged from the wasteland and onto Premium Digital Ownership today. The film took the world by storm when it hit UK cinemas earlier in the year, and now, cinephiles can enjoy the chaos from the comfort of their own home.
Anya Taylor-Joy delivers a legendary performance as Furiosa, capturing the character’s complex and intense nature. Equally noteworthy is Chris Hemsworth’s unmissable portrayal of the ruthless warlord Dementus, which sets a new standard for antagonists in cinema. The film is a bona fide race through the wasteland, and although it sorely lacks any involvement from Max himself, the film is a massive win for cinema.
REVIEW
In our FOUR STAR REVIEW, our reviewer Carl Roberts said: “The film is a delight from start to finish. It fits into the franchise and the continuing saga like a jigsaw piece slotting into its assigned place. It broadens the scope of what we expect, delivering visually stunning entertainment. This is the story of one child/ woman and her rise to the point we first meet her in the previous film. It fills in the blanks while forging its own path. Of course, it does have a Mad Max-sized hole in it, but it is filled with characters that we can’t help but follow, filling the hole to a tee.”

CREDITS
Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth star in Academy Award-winning mastermind George Miller’s Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the much-anticipated return to the iconic dystopian world he created more than 40 years ago with the seminal Mad Max films. Miller now turns the page again with an all-new original, standalone action adventure that will reveal the origins of the powerhouse character from the multiple Oscar-winning global smash Mad Max: Fury Road. The new feature from Warner Bros. Pictures is produced by Miller and his longtime partner, Oscar-nominated producer Doug Mitchell (Mad Max: Fury Road, Babe), under their Australian-based Kennedy Miller Mitchell banner.
As the world fell, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
Taylor-Joy stars in the title role, and along with Hemsworth, the film also stars Tom Burke and Alyla Browne.
Miller penned the script with Mad Max: Fury Road co-writer Nico Lathouris. Miller’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes first assistant director PJ Voeten and action designer Guy Norris, director of photography Simon Duggan (Hacksaw Ridge, The Great Gatsby), composer Tom Holkenborg, supervising sound editor Robert Mackenzie, editor Eliot Knapman, visual effects supervisor Andrew Jackson and supervising colorist Eric Whipp. The team also includes other longtime collaborators: production designer Colin Gibson, editor Margaret Sixel, production sound Ben Osmo, costume designer Jenny Beavan and hair and makeup designer Lesley Vanderwalt, each of whom won an Oscar for their work on Mad Max: Fury Road.
Warner Bros. Pictures Presents A Kennedy Miller Mitchell Production, A George Miller Film, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The film is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
