Mad Max 3: Beyond Thunderdome
The story of the practical fiction revolves around a man named Mad Max, a former policeman who found himself in a desert town. He is appointed by the city's leader to fight in a wrestler like the arena called Thunderdome. But he was later exiled and found a group of children who survived a plane crash during the war. So Mad Max must save them from the desert and from Bartertown in Auntie's.

Gibson impressively fleshes out Max, Tina Turner is striking in her role as Aunty (as well as contributing two topnotch songs, which open and close the picture) and the juves are uniformly good.

It's hard not to wonder why Beyond Thunderdome isn't better.
