Presented out of competition, this prequel to the famous Mad Max saga drew a host of stars and cinephiles for a memorable evening at the Grand Théâtre Lumière.

The actors were warmly welcomed by the flashbulbs of the photographers and the cheers of the audience, all eager to discover this new post-apocalyptic adventure.
Cannes Festival loyalistGeorge Miller expressed his delight at presenting this long-standing project on the Croisette: "The idea of this prequel has been in my head for over ten years. I'm delighted to be back at the Cannes Film Festival - with Anya, Chris and Tom - to share Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. There's no better place than the Croisette to discover this film with audiences from all over the world.
The film traces the origins of Furiosa, taken from the Green Earth and captured by a horde of bikers led by the fearsome Dementus. As she makes her way through the Devastated Lands, Furiosa must face many challenges to find her way back home.
