The second and third sequels came out in 1981 and 1985, respectively. It took another 30 years for the fourth, "Mad Max: Fury Road," to hit theaters. It premiered in May 2015.
The release gave a jolt of energy to the franchise and sparked a new generation of "Mad Max" superfans.
Hundreds of them recently joined together for an annual four-day event they called Wasteland Weekend.
Held in the Mojave Desert of California, the weekend gave fans a chance to celebrate the film and even build their own post-apocalyptic world.
