Religion & Culture Film Series – Mad Max Fury Road

Please join us for the Dept. of Religion & Culture's Spring Film Series, in which a faculty member introduces one of their favorite films and talks about how it intersects with their own research and teaching. For our second film in the series, Profs. Zach Dresser and Matt Gabriele will introduce “Mad Max: Fury Road" within the context of apocalypses (big and small).

All events are FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC!

Mad Max Fury Road
An apocalyptic story set in the furthest reaches of our planet, in a stark desert landscape where humanity is broken, and almost everyone is crazed fighting for the necessities of life. Within this world exist two rebels on the run who just might be able to restore order. There's Max, a man of action and a man of few words, who seeks peace of mind following the loss of his wife and child in the aftermath of the chaos. And Furiosa, a woman of action and a woman who believes her path to survival may be achieved if she can make it across the desert back to her childhood homeland. Filmmaker George Miller gears up for this post-apocalyptic action, the fourth outing in the MAD MAX film series. Charlize Theron stars alongside Tom Hardy (Bronson), with Zoe Kravitz, Adelaide Clemens, and Rosie Huntington Whiteley heading up the supporting cast.
