Synopsis
Driving a camel-powered truck across the desert (his destination is not specified) Max is stalked and attacked from the air by an aircraft pilot, who manages to steal his vehicle and belongings. Max walks and stumbles upon the only nearby human outpost in the wasteland that remains — the seedy community of "Bartertown," founded and nominally run by villainous Aunty Entity (Turner).
In Bartertown, electricity, vehicles, functioning technology — all almost unheard of in this post-apocalyptic world — are made possible by a crude methane refinery, fueled by pig waste, using a weathered semi tractor as the electricity generator. The refinery is located under Bartertown and is operated by the smart, diminutive "Master," who is harnessed to his enormously strong, but dim-witted bodyguard known as "Blaster." Together, "Master Blaster" hold an uneasy power-truce with Entity for control of Bartertown; however, Master is beginning to exploit his position with energy "embargoes," challenging Auntie's leadership. She is furious with him but cannot challenge him publicly, as Master is the only one with the technical know-how to operate the machinery that powers Bartertown. The controlled chaos of Bartertown is maintained by one inflexible law that states that no deal can be broken, for any reason. The punishment for breaking this law is equally inflexible and invoked with the simple phrase, "bust a deal, face the wheel."
Entity recognizes Max as a resourceful (if disposable) fighter, and strikes a deal with him to provoke a duel with and kill Blaster in the "Thunderdome," a gladiatorial-esque arena where conflicts are resolved, turning what is arguably a political assassination into a lawful act. The rules of the match, as chanted by onlookers crowding the arena, are simple and singular — "two men enter, one man leaves." Max defeats Blaster, but refuses to kill him when he discovers that Blaster is a mentally retarded simpleton, innocent as a child. An enraged Auntie has Blaster executed and invokes their single law since Max broke his deal with her. The wheel, which serves as a judge and jury, turns out to be a large, spinning metal disc (similar to Wheel of Fortune) with an arrow pointing to one of several consequences. Possible consequences include banishment, death, and acquittal. When it is spun for Max, it lands on "Gulag." He is cast out of Bartertown and exiled to the desert wastes.
