    Mad Max has nothing to do with Hollywood. It’s an Australian production.

      And it had nothing to do with climate change. It’s post-nuclear war.

        Not to mention that at no point is anything about the society depicted as being somewhere actually good to live. The movie ends with defectors from decadence killing the god-king and presumably overturning the order he built, and it’s framed positively

        Going to have to go back and watch it but I thought it was that gas ran out so society crumbled due to scarcity.

          It started like that, but then there was a nuclear war. That’s why there was the Atomic Cafe in Bartertown. It was a reference to a documentary about nuclear war information films of the 1950s.

        Bingo, and if anything given the weather it’s a post nuclear winter potentially rebounding climate.
