Total Film Issue 350 (May 2024) Furiosa

A prequel to 2015 action masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga chronicles the eponymous Imperator-to-be’s 16-year odyssey across the Wasteland, taking her from the Green Place of Many Mothers and into the orbit of Immortan Joe. Her harrowing history is intertwined with Dementus (Chris Hemsworth) – a despotic warlord and twisted father figure to Furiosa.

As on Fury Road, much of Furiosa’s explosive vehicular set-pieces were shot for real in the desert, with many Fury Road veterans returning to bring the latest instalment in the 45-year-old Mad Max series to the screen. In the cover story, Total Film talks to Taylor-Joy and Hemsworth, as well as mad mastermind George Miller, about putting Furiosa in the driver’s seat, and why the film is gearing up to be the action event of the summer.

Look out for more Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga exclusives dropping soon. Elsewhere in the issue, you’ll find a forceful look at The Acolyte, the Star Wars set a century before the prequels, as well as exclusive features on Richard Linklater’s Hit Man and Benedict Cumberbatch’s new series Eric. Plus there are in-depth interviews with Viggo Mortensen and George MacKay, and new looks at Atlas, Doctor Who: Season One, Young Woman and the Sea, and as it's our milestone 350th issue, we're revealing the 10 best (and five worst) films to have ever graced the cover over the last 27 years…
