This featurette from Warner Bros. provides an overview of the 'Five Wives' of Mad Max: Fury Road.
The Five Wives are played by Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (as the Splendid Angharad), Riley Keough (Capable), Zoë Kravitz (Toast the Knowing), Abbey Lee (the Dag) and Courtney Eaton (Cheedo the Fragile). The women were selected for breeding by Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne), the ruler of the Citadel, who considers them his property.
Before the events of the film, it is revealed that Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) was assigned to protect them. Over time, Furiosa's attitude towards the women changed from disregard to compassion, and she ultimately decided to include them in her escape plan.
This short clip sets out the story and features interviews with the actors who play the wives, as well as Theron and Tom Hardy (Max). Intercut with spectacular action scenes from the film, it makes for an enticing glimpse of Mad Max: Fury Road.
