Inaccuracies aside, the movie is about a man who did everything he could to avoid having a war in his backyard. That man even accepted levels of tyranny in order to protect his family. He was forced into the war when his family’s best interests were at stake.
Mad Max grossed A$5,355,490 at the box office in Australia and over US$100 million worldwide.[36][3] It was the most profitable film ever made at the time, holding the Guinness World Record for the highest box office to budget ratio of any motion picture.[37]
Highly inaccurate movie. But thats not the point, its supposed to a patriotic exercise, and it does that well.
