Warner Bros. has gone ahead and released the first official trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road, which premiered at this year’s Comic Con.

The story is said to the take place a short while after 1985’s Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome, which keeps Mad Max relatively young. This time centering on Max and the “Five Wives,” a group of women Max must protect from the bad guys.
