Mad Max 2
Synopsis
Max Rockatansky returns as the heroic loner who drives the dusty roads of a postapocalyptic Australian Outback in an unending search for gasoline. Arrayed against him and the other scraggly defendants of a fuel-depot encampment are the bizarre warriors commanded by the charismatic Lord Humungus, a violent leader whose scruples are as barren as the surrounding landscape.
Cinema Atlas Connection
If you look at something like ‘Mad Max 2,’ there are very little lines of dialogue in it. All the character and all the plot is revealed through action. [...] That's a huge lesson from a lot of action movies, that I still learn from.
The one thing they all have in common is a strong narrative, but the narrative comes out of the action. It's not dialogue.
