The future may end up being like this film, if humans keep on the way they are. It has a prophetic, warning feel to it, which is part of its power. It chillingly rings true to human nature. "They had built a house of straw..." and we're living it today. Yep, we'll probably all end up killing for gasoline, banding together in terrified groups in improvised fortresses with medieval jury-rigged weapons, and eagerly eating canned dog food (if we can afford it in the post-apocalyptic barter economy). The bands of marauding killers will prey on the ever-shrinking bands of decent people trying to sustain a remnant of civilization. Basically, it will be like Attila the Hun vs. the peasants of Europe, with the occasional lone heroic knight showing up to help the good guys. And that's more or less what this film is about, with Mel Gibson as the nothing-left-to-lose knight of the road.

A highly original, superbly well-made, riveting and immersive nonstop rampage through a grim and grotesque future that may well come to pass in 50 years or so... let's hope not.
