MONSTER FEST WEEKENDER: HIGHWAY TO HELL! Monster Fest is proud to present the film that set the gold standard for post-apocalyptic action. George Miller’s Mad Max 2 is a relentless, high-octane cinematic landmark that shaped a genre and turned its leather-clad drifter into one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.In a world where fuel is more valuable than life itself, Max (Mel Gibson) drifts through a scorched wasteland before being drawn into a desperate battle between a small band of survivors and a savage gang of marauders led by the feral Lord Humungus. What follows is one of the most iconic vehicular assaults ever committed to film—a relentless barrage of roaring engines, leather-clad ravagers, and high-speed destruction that redefined action cinema. With its unforgettable villains, stripped-back storytelling, and groundbreaking stunt work, Mad Max 2 remains the blueprint for post-apocalyptic mayhem and is arguably Australia’s greatest contribution to the global zeitgeist.
