Mad Max Beyond ThunderdomeMedium: Acrylic paints and pencil on gessoed board Size: 15x20 and 2@ 19x28 inches Year 1985 Mad Max is a 1979 Australian apocalyptic action thriller film directed by George Miller and written by Miller and Byron Kennedy. The film, starring the then-little-known Mel Gibson, was released internationally in 1980. This low-budget film's story of social breakdown, murder, and vengeance became the top-grossing Australian film, and has been credited for opening up the global market to Australian films. The movie was also notable for being the first Australian film to be shot with a widescreen anamorphic lens. Mad Max was followed by two sequels, Mad Max 2 (aka The Road Warrior) in 1981 and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome in 1985. Each signed "drew"
