Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, released after 30 years in development, won 6 Academy Awards — the most ever for an action film — and holds a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating, the highest ever achieved by an action blockbuster. Shot primarily in the Namibian desert with predominantly practical effects, its 120-minute near-continuous chase was assembled from 480 hours of footage. Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron's performances were delivered in conditions so punishing the two stars reportedly despised each other during production.
