BEST NON-STREAMING OPTION Rent 'Furiosa' on Prime Video $3.99

Prequels are tough to get right, but George Miller's return to the Mad Maxwasteland in Furiosa: A Mad Max Saganailed it. The trailer alone is a thrill ride, so you can only imagine the action packed into the 2-hour and 28-minute flick. We've already dubbed it one of the top five films of 2024 (so far).

Furiosadebuted in theaters in late May, made its way to digital on-demand services just a month later, then officially started streaming on Max as of Aug. 16. Now, four months later, it's becoming available to a much wider audience by making its Netflix debut.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Furiosaat home, including the best streaming deals for both Max and Netflix.

What is Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga about?

A prequel to 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road, Furiosacenters around Imperator Furiosa (played first by Charlize Theron, now by Anya Taylor-Joy). As a child, she grew up in the Green Place, an idyllic refuge where she was safe from the wasteland horrors of the desert. However, after she's kidnapped from this refuge and taken into the horde of the warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth), she spends her whole life trying to get back home.

"Much of the aforementioned plot can be gleaned from the trailers — that Furiosais a prequel means she will inevitably end up the Immortan's right hand, his 'Imperator' — but the movie's bygone conclusions never rob it of its ferocity. Instead, Miller enters into a sadistic game of expectations by playing with narrative point of view," Mashable film critic Siddhant Adlakha writes in his review.

Take a peek at the extremely shiny and chrome trailer:

Is Furiosa worth watching?

Furiosaearned a spot on our list of the best movies of 2024, and other critics agree. On Rotten Tomatoes, Miller's epic prequel has a "certified fresh" 90 percent critic rating and 89 percent audience rating. It may not have done well at the box office, pulling in a measly $26 million domestically on its opening weekend, but box office numbers aren't everything.

As Mashable's reviewer put it, "Furiosais a magnificent, pulse-pounding achievement unlike anything you'll see this year."
