Tonight it was announced that the entire Mad Max anthology will be coming home in a brand new 4K set along with the first ever UHD release of The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome. Fury Road and the original Mad Max are estimated to be the previously released discs and will be included in this long awaited set. The entire series will be available for purchase on November 2nd, 2021 and will most likely be a day one purchase for most fans of George Miller's apocalyptic quadrilogy. The director is currently working on a fifth film that will serve as a prequel to Fury Road that will be focused on Furiosa, the character originally played by Charlize Theron.
It is estimated that Miller will also see Tom Hardy reprise the role of Max in another sequel when production has been completed on the latest entry.

Mad Max
In a not-too-distant dystopian future, when man's most precious resource -- oil -- has been depleted and the world plunged into war, famine and financial chaos, the last vestiges of the law in Australia attempt to restrain a vicious biker gang. Max (Mel Gibson), an officer with the Main Force Patrol, launches a personal vendetta against the gang when his wife (Joanne Samuel) and son are hunted down and murdered, leaving him with nothing but the instincts for survival and retribution.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel tyrannized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows.
