520 |a It won six Oscars, but it is a miracle Mad Max: Fury Road ever made it to the screen... or that anybody survived the production. Production stalled several times; the stars clashed repeatedly in the brutal Namib Desert, and director George Miller's crew engineered death-defying action scenes that were among the most dangerous ever committed to film. Buchanan takes readers through every step of nearly two decades of obstacles, from Fury Road's unexpected origins through its outlandish casting process to the big-studio battles that nearly mutilated a masterpiece. As the cast and crew fought and endured in a wasteland of their own, the only way forward was to have faith in their director's mad vision-- and almost everything seemed to be stacked against him. -- adapted from jacket
