Originally announced by Scream Factory at last year's San Diego Comic-Con, the Mad Max Collector's Edition Blu-ray will give viewers an upgraded look at George Miller's classic first installment of the influential post apocalyptic franchise. Though the special features have yet to be revealed, the release's cover art and official street date have now been unveiled, with this one fittingly slated to hit shelves ten days before Mad Max: Fury Road roars into theaters.

From Scream Factory: "We’re really excited about our upcoming blu-ray release of the original MAD MAX film and now can finally give you some details on it ever since we announced the title way back in July. We appreciate your patience and hope the wait will have been worth it!

- The incredible newly-commissioned artwork you see here (from artist Paul Shipper) is final and approved. (Purists take note: The original theatrical poster image will be on the reverse.)

- Full list of extras are still forthcoming but we can confirm today that we have an all-new exclusive interview with star Mel Gibson as one of them!

- U.S. & Canada Street date is 5/5 and the link to pre-order is now available on our site @ https://www.shoutfactory.com/film/action-adventure/mad-max-collector-s-edition. If you choose to order directly from us, the item will be shipped two weeks early PLUS you’ll get a FREE limited edition 18” x 24” poster of the new cover art (while supplies last).

Full specs and extras will be announced next month. Stay tuned…"

Synopsis: "In the ravaged near-future, a savage motorcycle gang rules the road. Terrorizing innocent civilians while tearing up the streets, the ruthless gang laughs in the face of a police force hell-bent on stopping them. But they underestimate one officer: Max Rockatansky. And when the bikers brutalize Max's best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him with only one thing left in the world to live for - revenge!"

Co-written and directed by George Miller, Mad Max stars Mel Gibson, Joanne Samuel, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Steve Bisley, Tim Burns, and Roger Ward.
