Furiosa takes the fight to a very scary Chris Hemsworth in a 6-minute sneak peek a week before the Mad Max prequel's release

A little over a week before its release, Warner Bros. has unveiled a six-minute sneak peek at the epic action film Furiosa.

Set 15 to 20 years before Mad Max: Fury Road, the film follows a young Furiosa (Alyla Browne and Anya Taylor-Joy) who, in the clip, is kidnapped from her mother and taken to the Warlord Dementus (played by a terrifying Chris Hemsworth). Over the six minutes, we see Furiosa go from a scared child to a full-out weapon-wielding warrior who seeks vengeance against Dementus for killing her mother and stealing her childhood.

The film is directed by none other than George Miller from a script he co-wrote with Fury Road co-writer Nico Lathouris. Per the official synopsis: "While two Tyrants war for dominance over the Citadel, Furiosa survives many trials as she plots a way back home through the Wasteland."
