![]() 26 What happened to the oceans in Mad Max? A nuclear apocalypse destroyed the world and all rule of law, hence why Aunty (Tina Turner) and the Collector (Frank Thring) created Bartertown to rebuild civilization, one created on a methane-based energy economy. In Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, more is revealed as to how Mad Max's world became what it is. When did the apocalypse happen in Mad Max?Īccording to George MIller, in the original timeline the nuclear exchange happened after the events of Mad Max 2, but according to the 2015 Mad Max: Fury Road prequel comic books, the war occurs after Max Rockatansky defeats the Toecutter's road-gang and disappears into the Outback, but prior to the events of The Road. The Mad Max franchise is set in future Australia as the country is experiencing societal collapse caused by war and shortages of critical resources. Mad Max is set in an apocalyptic world destroyed by a nuclear war over oil resources, while Mad Max: Fury Road emphasised the fight over water. With the oceans still in place, even if they were somehow magically made freshwater water would still be a precious commodity. None of the locations in the movies were implied to take place in a coastal region. Nothing in the movies implies the oceans were drying up. In the first film, we can see that there is obviously SEVERE economic difficulties: Scarcity of fuel. The first Mad Max film is pre apocalyptic (apparently the back on the DVD says events of Mad Max 2/Road Warrior took place 3 years after the first movie). But later in the movie they make a plan to ride for hundreds of days across the salt flats, which I can only assume is the remains of the Pacific Ocean. Where did all the water go? So Mad Max takes place in a world that has been ravaged nuclear war and greenhouse gasses, so it makes sense that fresh water is scarce. ![]() It is unknown who struck first, but everyone had suffered. This had led to a global nuclear exchange. What caused the end of the world in Mad Max?Īpocalypse After the economy collapsed and the fabric of society disintegrated all across the world, the remaining governments were still trying to secure the last oil resources. However, Mad Max and Mad Max 2 were set in around 19, not 2021. Written by Miller and James McCausland from a story by Miller and producer Byron Kennedy, set between 19, a few years after the 1973 oil crisis. What happened to the world in Mad Max?Ī nuclear apocalypse destroyed the world and all rule of law, hence why Aunty (Tina Turner) and the Collector (Frank Thring) created Bartertown to rebuild civilization, one created on a methane-based energy economy. ![]() This proves that prior to the events of The Road Warrior, bodies of water such as oceans and beaches still existed. In this first film, before their deaths, Max Rockatansky takes his family out to a beach to relax and get away from the anxiety of the world at large. ![]()
