However, the Imperator and her still oblivious War Boy escort are able to successfully repel them. Meanwhile, a battle ensues between the War Rig and wasteland rivals of The Citadel, called the Buzzards led by one of their own mini War Rigs, after Furiosa enters their territory. Nux also joins the army with his 'lancer' (wingman) Slit, as well as Max strapped to the hood of his car, to continue supplying blood. Joe leads his entire War Boy army in pursuit of Furiosa with his son Rictus Erectus, in addition to calling on the aid of his allies in Gas Town and the Bullet farm, led by The People Eater and The Bullet Farmer respectively. However, Furiosa begins driving off route, alerting Joe who realizes that his Five Wives ( Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Riley Keough, Zoë Kravitz, Abbey Lee Kershaw, and Courtney Eaton) - beautiful and healthy women specially selected for breeding - are gone. Meanwhile, Imperator Furiosa ( Charlize Theron) drives her heavily-armored War Rig to collect gasoline in nearby Gas Town. Designated as a universal blood donor, Max is imprisoned and used as a living blood bag for a sickly War Boy called Nux ( Nicholas Hoult). Max ( Tom Hardy), a former MFP officer, is captured by the War Boys, the army of a tyrannical cult leader named Immortan Joe ( Hugh Keays-Byrne) based at a now rare aquifer called The Citadel.
