Warner Bros. has revealed the synopsis for George Miller's Furiosa, which reveals how the story will fit in the Mad Max world. Miller is the creator of Mad Max, the franchise that Furiosa is a spinoff of, which follows a lone drifter in a post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland as he navigates his world, clashing with villainous gangs and helping to protect those just trying to survive. Mel Gibson originally played Mad Max for the first three films in Miller's series, Mad Max (1979), The Road Warrior (1981), and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome (1985).

Miller returned to the franchise in 2015 with Mad Max: Fury Road, this time starring Tom Hardy as Max and introducing Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa, a driver for Citadel dictator Immortan Joe. Furiosa rebels against Immortan Joe, making an attempt to help his kidnapped brides escape his clutches, eventually with the help of Max Rockatansky. Fury Road has quickly become one of the most-lauded action films ever made, an endeavor many years in the making with a troubled production that eventually paid off when finally released, making $375 million worldwide and winning 6 Oscars. Shortly after, a prequel film was announced with Anya Taylor-Joy cast as a younger Furiosa in the character-titled film.
