Max has thrown his own life into enormous peril in order to allow the children to escape. So begins the climactic chase, Max and a group of wild kids fleeing from an armada of bizarre dune buggies and big dirt bikes. They set out with Max in the lead, to take over Bartertown, believing that there is their chance to get back to the real world. They do not realise that the world has been destroyed. She is the leader of a strange group of children who await their messiah, who is to save them and take them back to the world from where they believe they came. He is found by Savannah Nix (Helen Buday), a young woman in tribal gear. Max wins the fight but is sentenced to Gulag - sent to die in the desert. She finds him in Max, who is set to fight a strange vision called Blaster (Paul Larsson) in Thunderdome. She explains to Max that she's looking for a warrior. The town is run by an incredible woman called Aunty Entity (Tina Turner). He stumbles across a town called Bartertown deep in the heart of the desert. Many years have passed and we now find Max (Mel Gibson) wandering across the desert dressed as a post-apocalyptic Bedouin.
