Papagallo and the three settlers are killed and the Gyro Captain is shot down.
The marauders pursue the tanker, allowing the remaining settlers to flee their compound in a caravan of smaller vehicles after rigging the refinery to explode. His support consists of the Gyro Captain, Papagallo in a separate vehicle, three of the settlers on the outside of the armoured tanker, and the Feral Kid, who jumps on the truck as it is leaving. Left for dead, Max is rescued by the Gyro Captain and returned to the compound.ĭespite his injuries, Max insists on driving the repaired truck during the escape. A Marauder kills Max's dog and is about to kill the seriously-injured Max when a Marauder named Toadie attempts to siphon the fuel from the Pursuit Special's tanks, triggering the car to self-destruct. Wez catches him using Humungus's nitrous oxide-equipped vehicle and causes him to crash. Max refuses Papagallo's entreaty to accompany the settlers to a fabled northern paradise, opting instead to collect his fuel and leave. It is somewhat damaged as Max passes through the marauders' encampment on the way back to the refinery, but he makes it, followed by the gyrocopter. He encounters the Gyro Captain and forces the man to fly him to the truck, which he is able to get started.
The settlers agree to let him try, and that night Max sneaks past the marauders on foot carrying fuel for the truck.

With the settlers split about what to do, Max offers his own deal: he will bring them the semi-truck he saw earlier so they can try to haul away their tanker full of oil, if they return his car and give him as much fuel as he can carry. Unknown to the settlers in the compound, Humungus has no intention of letting the settlers survive. A feral child who lives in the refinery compound kills Wez's partner with a metal boomerang and Wez wants revenge, but the gang's leader, a muscular masked man called "Lord Humungus", offers to spare the settlers' lives in exchange for their fuel supply and leaves for the day. The settlers are about to confiscate Max's car and cast him out of their compound when the marauders return to parley. He rescues the sole survivor of one car and strikes a deal to return him to the complex in exchange for fuel, but the man dies shortly after Max gets him back, and the leader of the settlers, Papagallo, says the deal died with Nathan. The next day, Max witnesses several cars leave the besieged compound and get chased down by marauders. They arrive during the daily attack on the facility by a motley motorised gang, whose members include Wez. Max overpowers the man with his dog's help, sparing his life in return for being led to a working oil refinery the pilot has discovered. Later, Max tries collecting an apparently abandoned gyrocopter's fuel, but is ambushed by the pilot. He outmaneuvers a small group of marauders led by the unhinged biker Wez using his driving skills and a sawed-off shotgun and gets some petrol from a wrecked semi-truck.
Now, former policeman Max Rockatansky, haunted by the death of his family, drives his supercharged black V-8 Pursuit Special around the desert wilderness of Australia, scavenging for food and petrol with his Australian Cattle Dog.
