Tom would want justification for every bit of choreography, not just in the actual action but in the pre-setup of the action and everything else," Richard Norton, who played The Prime Imperator, recalled. According to multiple people who were on the set, the standoff between Hardy, who played Max, and Theron, who played Furiosa, stemmed in no small part from very different approaches to their work as actors. In Blood, Sweat and Chrome: The Wild and True Story of Mad Max: Fury Road, writer Kyle Buchanan breaks down the entire journey of bringing the fourth Mad Max film to the screen, and in a new excerpt published by Vanity Fair, he specifically brings multiple interviews to bear on the tension between the film's stars. Now, a new behind-the-scenes book details exactly how those tensions reached their breaking point, and how both Theron and Hardy look back on things these days. The film emerged after years of development and delays, a tough shoot in the desert of Namibia, and reports of on-set fighting between its stars, Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron. As the rise up to the top of the structure, they welcome others to join, setting the tone for their new society, a society built on hope and community, not fear and subjugation. On its own, the script is about hope, but when given an apocalyptic backdrop of this scale, that message becomes even more poignant, with the protagonists becoming a beacon of hope in an otherwise desolate environment.George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Roadis remembered now as one of the best action movies of the 21st century, a box office hit that also won six Oscars for its filmmaking craft. In the end, Furiosa and the wives return to the Citadel with the resources needed to make a new Green Place and the ability to liberate its inhabitants. Instead of having a tragic sacrifice that would suit the tone of this world, Furiosa survives, suiting the overall hopeful message of the movie. With this newfound hope, the outnumbered gang charge back to the Citadel, losing several members along the way and nearly losing Furiosa, but, just like she refused to give up on the wives, Max refuses to give up on her, giving her his blood in a last ditch effort to keep her alive. Angharad knew this, and she was willing to risk her life for a chance to be free. ![]() As long as they are his, he can do whatever he pleases to them, stripping them of their humanity and further traumatizing them. In light of her perishing beneath the wheels of Joe's car, Cheedo (Courtney Eaton) entertains the idea of returning to Joe because as a wife they had food, water and shelter however, the other wives remind her that they will always be objects to him. There are plenty of moments where this mission seems pointless, most notably with the death of Angharad (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). ![]() While they face the wrath of Joe and company, they never give up because Furiosa holds onto hope that her home, the Green Place, is still there as are her family, the Many Mothers - a matriarchal group that focuses on community over subjugation. As one of the few women Joe trusts, Furiosa abandons a mission, absconding with the war rig, which has the wives hidden in it. The world of his Citadel lacks any hope however, Furiosa (Charlize Theron) has a plan to liberate herself and the wives from this nightmare.
