Posted on by

RRT road warriorTime magazine called this film “Apocolypse…POW.”  The Road Warrior (sometimes called: Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior) will screen tonight at 10pm at the Ron Robinson Theater.

Mel Gibson returns for this film (after having created the role in 1979’s Mad Max).  In the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline rich, community escape a band of bandits.  George Miller directed it based on a screenplay he co-wrote with Terry Hayes.

It was released in Australia in late 1981 and hit US screens in time for Memorial Day 1982.  Budgeted for $2 million, it grossed over $23 million in the US alone in 1982.

Admission to tonight’s screening, which is part of the “Re:Wind Series,” is $5 with concessions available for purchase.
