Footage shown at WonderCon comprised of a clip 20 minutes into the film after its opening vehicle chase sequence. The camera pans down on Mad Max (played by Tom Hardy) chained, wearing a mask and lying facedown on the sand. In the midst of a hallucination, he reaches behind, finds and wrenches out a hook buried at the back of his neck, following the attached chain where he uncovers Nux (played by Nicholas Hoult) buried in a car under the sand.
Discovering a shotgun, Max attempts to shoot off his manacles, but it jams. Instead, he carries Nux and walks to a vision he has spied in the distance which turns out to be a bevy of beautiful spiked chastity belt-wearing women taking a shower from a huge water tanker.
Pointing his shotgun at them, he utters his first line of dialogue: "water," and drinks from a hose offered by a pregnant woman named Splendid (played by Rosie Huntington-Whitely). Charlize Theron's character, Furiosa, emerges and starts a fight just as Max orders one of the women to find a bolt cutter to remove his chains. The scene ends when Furiosa, a character with only one arm, gets hold of the shotgun and starts shooting at Max.
Apart from Hardy, Theron, Hoult and Huntington-Whitely, "Mad Max: Fury Road" also stars Zoe Kravitz, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Riley Keough, Nathan Jones, Courtney Eaton, John Howard, and Josh Helman. It opens in North American theaters May 15.
