Survivor Max from the ongoing series is being held hostage by a war mongering clan for his blood, which has a healing power. The leader of the clan, a tyrannical warlord, realizes his "five wives" have been kidnapped by a renegade female soldier. He sends his entire army after her, including the captive Max. They engage in epic battles on barren landscapes in souped-up vehicles. It's a loud, noisy film that rarely stops for such things as character or plot. The "five wives" are nothing more than waifish, barely dressed Calvin Klein models. On a technical level, the film is a marvel, and the cinematography in the "black and chrome" version I watched particularly effective; just don't expect anything more than escapist entertainment.
