About the title
A catastrophe worse than nuclear war has befallen our civilization. A terrible energy crisis has paralyzed the cities, the roads — everything. Now people will fight by any means for fuel, because wherever there's gasoline, there's life... Max, a lone driver, roams the wastelands of far-off Australia in search of fuel. Everywhere lie abandoned homes, cars, scattered belongings. At last Max finds a station turned into a camp with fuel stockpiles. Gaunt, exhausted people guard what belongs to them as best they can. And then, to top off all their troubles, the camp is attacked by enemies — savage warriors led by a certain Humungus, a sadist and murderer. And so Max joins the fight...
