The costumes, settings, vehicles, and visuals are neatly crafted.ĩ. Toecutter, Johnny, and Bubba are alright villains.Ĥ. Jessie, Goose, Fifi, and May are all good side characters.ģ. He dons his police uniform and takes the black Pursuit Special from the MFP garage to pursue and eliminate the gang.Ģ. Max arrives to a horrifying sight: Sprog is instantly killed, while a badly-injured but alive Jessie lies comatose in a hospital ICU. The loss of his family ultimately drives Max into a rage. Jessie and Sprog attempt to escape on foot, but are run over by the gang. When they stop to fix the spare tire, they encounter Toecutter and his gang. After seeing Goose's charred body, Max becomes disillusioned with the MFP, and informs Fifi that he will resign to maintain what sanity he has left. Max takes his wife Jessie and their infant son - referred to only as "Sprog", Australian slang for a child - on vacation in a panel van. At Toecutter's insistence, Johnny throws a match into the wreck of the ute, igniting the petrol and burning Goose alive. However, Johnny ambushes Goose by throwing a brake drum through his windshield, causing him to crash. After the motorbike then locks up at high speed and highsides, a dazed but surprisingly-uninjured Goose borrows a ute to haul his bike back to the MFP. When neither the victims nor any of the townspeople show for Johnny's trial, the federal courts close the case, with Johnny's attorneys releasing him into Bubba's custody over Goose's furious objections. While Goose visits a nightclub in the city the next day, Johnny sabotages his police motorbike.

Max and fellow officer Jim Goose arrest Toecutter's young protégé Johnny the Boy for terrorizing a young couple. A conversation between Max's superior Fifi Macaffee and Police Commissioner Labatouche reveals that the Pursuit Special was authorised as a bribe to keep Max on the force. Meanwhile, Nightrider's motorbike gang, led by Toecutter and Bubba Zanetti, run roughshod over a town, vandalising property, stealing fuel, and terrorising the population. Max breaks the Nightrider's concentration during a high-speed chase, resulting in a fiery crash which kills the Nightrider. At the MFP garage, Max is shown a supercharged V8-powered black Pursuit Special. He manages to elude other MFP officers but then encounters the MFP's top pursuit man, Max Rockatansky. In a dystopian Australia, berserk motorbike gang member Crawford "Nightrider" Montazano kills a rookie officer of the Main Force Patrol (MFP) – Australia's highway patrol unit – and escapes in a Pursuit Special.
