About the Item

Mad Max (1979) Original British Quad (30 X 40 Inches) This original UK quad poster is from the first UK release in 1979 of George Miller’s groundbreaking action film, Mad Max. Featuring Tom Beauvais’ artwork, the design captures the film’s bleak, high-octane dystopian world, setting the stage for one of the most influential action franchises of all time, which stays to this day a striking, desolate, and memorable piece of cinema. This particular poster was used on London Underground and was cropped to the standard London Underground size for display (39"x27"). This is an Original Film Poster produced by the studio to be displayed in the movie theatres to promote the film when it was first released in the UK.

'Mad Max' Original Vintage Movie Poster by Tom Beauvais, Belgian, 1982
By Tom Beauvais
Located in Devon, GB
Making a bold visual statement with a clean and straightforward design, this small-format poster for the first Belgian release of George Miller's groundbreaking 1979 pre-apocalyptic action thriller 'Mad Max' utilises the same superb Tom Beauvais artwork created for the British campaign posters, which draws us in as we look down the twin-barrels of a shotgun. As noted by Sim Brannaghan in his 2006 book on 'British Film Posters,' the Beauvais design strips "the film down to its basic elements of cop, the car & the road". Set in a bleak dystopian near-future Australia veering towards societal collapse due to critical petrol shortages, the influential film starred a little-known Mel Gibson in the titular role as a police officer turned vigilante when his family are murdered by a sadistic biker gang. Essentially a revenge western meets apocalyptic road movie, the film's sparse dialogue made way for a kinetic combination of visceral action sequences, chaotic car chases and an other-worldly visual style, hinting at the barren wastelands we would see in later films. Shot on a shoestring budget of $400,000 Australian dollars...
