'Mad Max' Coming on Blu-ray October 5

The post-apocalyptic Mad Max Comes to Blu-ray October 5 from MGM Home Entertainment. The release will also be released as a Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack.
The film was the first in a Mad Max triology that includes The Road Warrior and Beyond Thunderdome. The movie stars, of course, a young Mel Gibson (Braveheart, Lethal Weapon) and was directed by George Miller (Happy Feet, Babe: Pig in the City). The New York Times named the film as one of the “Best 1000 Movies Ever.”
Special features include filmmaker commentary and the documentary “Mad Max: The Film Phenomenon,” featuring interviews with the original crew and film experts. The new release also features the original Australian audio track in addition to the American dubbed track (The American dub was the film's only shortcoming).
Considered one of the best films of 1979, Mad Max won garnered three Australian Film Institute (AFI) Awards for editing, sound and musical score. The film was also nominated by the AFI for Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (Hugh Keays-Byrne).
The film synopsis is as follows:
"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 (Gibson). And when the bikers brutalize Max's best friend and family, they send him into a mad frenzy that leaves him seeking revenge, which is the only thing left in the world for Max to live for."  
But you may have already known all that if you're mad for all the Max films.
