Eight years after 2015’s Fury Road dazzled critics and audiences alike, we return to George Miller‘s sandy, dystopian universe with the first trailer for Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga.

The pic, which stars Anya Taylor-Joy as the titular Furiosa (played in Fury Road by Charlize Theron) and Chris Hemsworth, is a prequel to the 2015 actioner. Miller returns to the director’s chair with a script he co-wrote with Nico Lathouris.

In Furiosa, “45 years after the collapse, a young Furiosa is taken from her family. She will devote the rest of her life to finding her way home. This is her odyssey.” The official logline provides further details: As the world fell, young Furiosa (Taylor-Joy) is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus (Hemsworth, sporting his fair share of prosthetics). Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe.  While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.

The Warner Bros-distributed film premieres on May 24th in the US, and May 26th everywhere else. Watch the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga trailer below, and scroll down for a look at the newly-released film poster:
