10 Things You Need To Know About Mad Max: Fury Road

5. Charlize Theron's Character Is...

Imperator Furiosa. We don't know a lot about Furiosa, other than that she's a main character whom Max meets while she is fleeing across the desert with a group of her own. From the trailer, these seem to be primarily, if not all, women. They're referred to as "The Wives." Oh, and she happens to drive a war rig, and has something in her possession that the antagonist of the film wants back very, very badly. Something irreplaceable. Eventually, her and Max form a shaky alliance to get Furiosa to her destination, under the idea that "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" - but not before her and Max engage in an all out brawl. Furiosa also sports an artificial hand.
