• Overall: You might not like it (anymore), but it was the beginning of something great.

• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079501/
• Known actors: Mel Gibson. This is what put him on the map.
• Setting: Near apocalypse with a smidge of civilization left.
• Style: High octane asphalt mayhem.
• Story: Rather simple, but it pulls you in.
• Ending: Satisfying.
• Dialogs: Dated.
