The action lineup on Netflix got an enormous boost on Wednesday. The service has plenty of action hits already on its roster, with newer films like Plane and Den of Thieves recently injecting a lot of excitement for fans of the genre. This week, however, one of the biggest and best action films of the last 15 years made its way to Netflix, and it’ll surely be a staple for the service for as long as it’s available.
When you think of the best action movies of the 2010s, there are probably two films that come to mind: John Wick and Mad Max: Fury Road. The latter was added to Netflix’s streaming roster on Wednesday morning, giving subscribers the opportunity to journey into the mad dystopian mind of legendary filmmaker George Miller.
Mad Max: Fury Road roared into theaters a decade ago and became an instant action classic. Visually, it’s as stunning as you’ll see a film of its size and budget, and its world-building is second-to-none. There’s a reason why Warner Bros. has already sent Miller back to the wasteland for more Mad Max stories in the years since.
What’s best about the timing of this Fury Road addition is that it coincides with Miller’s other modern Mad Max blockbuster. 2024 prequel film Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is currently on Netflix’s streaming roster, which means subscribers can watch both of the new Mad Max movies back-to-back.
Unfortunately, you’ll only have a short amount of time to watch the two adventures together. Furiosa is set to leave Netflix’s lineup on July 16th, exactly one week following the Fury Road addition.

Mad Max: Fury Road is set to be one of the bigger additions to Netflix’s roster in July, but it comes on the heels of a slew of new arrivals at the start of the month.
