All 4 'Mad Max' Movie, Ranked by Box Office

Post-apocalyptic movies are an integral subgenre of science fiction, as any scenario in which humanity is forced to fight for its survival presents an inherently compelling dilemma for audiences. Many films with similar premises premiered both before and since George Miller first ventured into the Australian desert, but the Mad Max series remains the definitive post-apocalyptic movie franchise. While the first three films were more cult hits than they were mainstream sensations, the Mad Max saga has become highly influential in popular culture and continues to spawn new installments.
