Retrospective on the making of "Mad Max 2".

The fate of a young Australian boy is somehow linked with that of a young Roman boy who had traveled to Australia by ship during the time of the Roman Emperor, Nero.

Australia 1946. A young woman escapes from an unhappy affair to become tutor to three children who are being raised by their uncle.

When the small town of Minyaka suffers from a drought, a kind and mysterious stranger offers to make it rain by playing his flute; under the condition that he be paid. But after Fluteman makes it rain, and even stops it; the town council, blind by their greed and pride, refuse to pay him. Fluteman stands before the town and warns them of a curse he would bring; and so the next day the school playground fades into silence as all the children disappear into the bush... except one.

Tras el holocausto nuclear, la gasolina se ha convertido en un bien escaso y muy codiciado. Mad Max, héroe solitario, inicia una lucha sin cuartel para ayudar a una colonia de supervivientes constantemente atacada por un grupo de violentos guerreros que intenta arrebatarle un tanque de gasolina. Max decide ayudar a los defensores del tanque utilizando un enorme camión como trampa. La banda de guerreros persigue al camión, pensando que transporta miles de litros de gasolina.
