"Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" Is The Ultimate Summer Adventure

This summer, it’s all about crazy adventures — The Fall Guy! A Quiet Place: Day One! — and there is NO wilder adventure than Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The film, which just premiered at Cannes, stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular character (played by Charlize Theron in 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road), who’s fighting to get home after she’s abducted as a child. And Furiosa's journey to find her family quickly becomes a fight for her own survival when her group crosses paths with the Immortan Joe.

The Dune 2 actress stars opposite Chris Hemsworth, and if there’s anything I know about these two, it’s that they DELIVER. Keep reading for everything you need to know about the summer movie. And check out all the summer TV shows that are on the way!
