In an interview with Vanity Fair, members of the cast and crew of Fury Road, including Hardy and Theron themselves, along with Nicholas Hoult, reflected upon the actors' infamous "feud," which derived from both a volatile clash in the actors' vastly different approaches to acting as well as different expectations for timeliness and professionalism on set. Related: Mad Max Fury Road: What Happened To The “Green Place” (And Why It Matters) As the two overcome the dangers of the malevolent wasteland that serves as the backdrop of Fury Road, they also overcome their initial distrust of one another for the greater good of their mission and for the greater good of humanity. The two characters cross paths on the famously lethal Fury Road, and they join forces in defense against the quickly approaching enemy chasing after them.
The story of Mad Max: Fury Road takes place in a dystopian, post-apocalyptic world that consists of a harsh desert wasteland with incredibly scare resources, the bulk of which the antagnonistic leader, Immortan Joe, hoards along with his enslaved Wives. The narrative follows the story of Imperator Furiosa (played by Theron) as she rebels against Joe by fleeing with the Wives in search of the matriarchal tribe from which Furiosa descends, the Vuvalini, and their idyllic land called the "Green Place." Simultaneously, Max Rockatansky (played by Hardy), a captured survivor of the societal collapse, escapes Joe's citadel.
Fury Road enjoyed numerous accolades upon its release, and the film notably achieved the status of the highest-grossing film in the entire Mad Max series.
