In a land where east meets west, the past and the future collide to settle our fate. A new post-apocalyptic warrior is unleashed in a newly released trailer that sees swords swing, bullets fly, and blood spill as we’re dropped into a distant future that’s been rendered a wasteland after nuclear war. And while we await the return of Tom Hardy’s Mad Max, this action epic should suffice…and it’s streaming now.
Set in a distant future following a nuclear catastrophe, the upcoming action sci-fi thriller in question is Warriors of the Wasteland. The West Balkans have become a lawless wasteland where the most valuable currency is the bullet. A mysterious blind fiddler wanders the ruins, singing the legend of the “Grain People”— a peaceful community of wheat-growers who refuse to submit to a distant city’s tyranny.
But when a young warrior’s family is slaughtered by a deranged warlord, peace comes to an abrupt end as he embarks on a bloody quest for vengeance. Armed only with a blade and a motorcycle, he must navigate radioactive cults and hallucinations to protect the last remnants of civilization.
Directed by Nemanja Ćeranić (Loan Shark), Warriors of the Wasteland stars Igor Benčina (Sword of Vengeance), Isidora Simijonović (A Good Wife), Sergej Trifunović (The Border Post), Marta Bjelica (Offenders), and Jovo Maksić (Father). Picked up for distribution by Well Go USA, with the Oscar-nominated theatrical and home entertainment label continuing to specialize in bringing the best in action, genre, and independent films from the U.S. and around the world to North America, the new trailer for Warriors of the Wasteland offers our first look at this new apocalyptic survivor with a penchant for slashing his way through the new world.
While we await a long-awaited Mad Max sequel that may never come (though the latest update reveals that George Miller is still fighting to make it happen), Warriors of the Wasteland certainly looks like the perfect replacement to the $540 million franchise. The trailer reveals not only a cast of colorful characters similar to those seen on the fury road, but it also injects a hefty dose of slick swordplay that gives this new post-apocalyptic hero an air of modern action icon John Wick. Mad Max meets John Wick…say less.
Warriors of the Wasteland is now available at home via digital streaming (as of July 7) and is due to be released on Blu-ray™ and DVD exclusively through Amazon® on September 8.
