Plot Idea's for Mad Max: The Wasteland??

Max is on a personal vendetta (not sure for what yet) that leads him right into the middle of a war between two giant factions, with innocent settlers caught in the midst of the chaos. There'll be huge battles fought on foot and with vehicles. Max could be like Clint Eastwood's character from A Fistful Of Dollars, going back and forth between the two with no loyalty to either but only to that of the innocents caught in the cross fire which he has befriended and doing what he can to weaken or stop both terrorising faction's via sabotage and give the settlers their lives back.

I really can't think of anything else after Fury Road, it's gonna be hard to top. Fury Road was a pursuit movie, this is more of a war as I said.

Any other thoughts folks??

We're coming up on the Iditarod.

How about Max gets pulled into a scenario where he has to do a suicide supply run from point A to point B. Medicine. Some essential piece of remaining technology to a surviving outpost set upon by scoot jockeys and buzzards.

Likely Miller and his associates mapped out a story arc already during the extended production of FURY ROAD.

I think it's kinda pointless trying to think of a plot for the next Mad Max. It's the kind of franchise that can be about almost anything, so you're probably never gonna guess it.

If you can't defend a movie without bashing another, you will be put on ignore. No exceptions.

I hope they decide to get away from the convoy/truck chase idea, since that's been done for the past three films.

How about Max strikes up a friendship with a fellow road warrior, let's call him Jack, they wander the wasteland for a while... then one lonely night one thing leads to another. Eventually they both settle down and get married, but every summer they go off road warrioring together. Eventually their wives find out and hire a bunch of homophobic cannibals to chase Max and Jack across the wasteland, Jack is tragically killed. A heartbroken Max wanders off into the sunset. Credits.

Not Kangaroo Jack? I'd rather seek a wacky buddy picture.

Two former cops. One suicidal, mourning the loss of his family, out of control. The other a family man, trying to stay alive in spite of his wise-cracking partner. What the heck, make one black and one white to be both edgy and to introduce the madcap hijinks that comes with diversity and racial oneupsmanship. With action and danger, of course.

Don't worry, I'm sure they've got a top creative team furiously trying to figure out how they're going to top the incredibly complex plot of having grunting Max tag along on a ride from point A to B and back to A again.

[–] RichardTheBruce 7 years ago

Actually, they most likely do. Planned out during the extended production to FURY ROAD.

Another plot idea: a band of former cops come across Max. They rescue him when he needs it, help him. But he discovers that in spite of their honest beginnings they reverted to a dirty underside. So he is compelled to turn against them to disrupt their power grab targeting another Wasteland community. [Kind of a MAGNUM FORCE notion.]

So at the very least it goes from point A to B. Maybe back to A.
