 Similar films to our idea such as Mad Max Fury Road, which is essentially about Max teaming up with Furiousa a rebel to try to take down the corrupt society of the mad max world. The film has many action scenes and the soundtrack to match is fantastic. The music itself helps to build the drama and suspense in sections leading up to the initial explosion or the car chase beginning.
