- In this installment, Max lends his aid and protection to a small band of survivors who are losing their struggle to protect an oil refinery under siege by a band of savage, mohawked marauders.

- Shot on location in Broken Hills, NSW, Australia.
- DVD uses normal modern multi region DVD players or computers that play DVD's.
