In a world dominated by streaming wars where content comes and goes in the blink of an eye, even cinematic juggernauts are not safe. From adrenaline-pumping car chases across post-apocalyptic wastelands to raw, intense performances that stay etched in memory, some films define an era. For fans of high-octane storytelling, few movies have left a mark like a specific Mad Max installment that currently decorates the Netflix vault. The Tom Hardy starrer’s digital availability, however, is soon set to shift.

The Mad Max chapter in discussion not only shattered box office records but also captured critical acclaim. It is set to leave the streaming giant soon, though, giving fans a limited window to watch it. 

Netflix to remove an acclaimed Mad Max film soon

Netflix is set to bid farewell to Mad Max: Fury Road, the 2015 Tom Hardy starrer that redefined action cinema, on September 9. A global powerhouse, the film raked in over $380 million, cementing its place as the franchise’s highest-grossing entry. Critics and audiences alike celebrated its breathtaking stunts, relentless pace, and Hardy’s commanding presence, earning the film six Oscars, including Best Film Editing and Best Production Design. As the streaming clock winds down, Netflix users are left with less than a week to experience the title’s majestic spectacle before it vanishes.

As Mad Max: Fury Road races towards its Netflix exit, viewers thankfully will still have ways to catch the offering online. The film will notably remain available for digital purchase or rental on platforms like Amazon Video, Apple TV, YouTube, and more, with prices starting at just $3.99. Meanwhile, Mad Max: Fury Road is not the only media Netflix is losing this month. An array of offerings will both precede and succeed the film in departing the platform before the calendar shows October.

From heartfelt romance to razor-sharp anime, Netflix is quietly bidding farewell to some of the most cherished content.

While Netflix added a fresh set of movies and shows to its collection on September 1, it also announced which titles were on their way out this month. Besides Mad Max: Fury Road on September 9, the Joaquin Phoenix and Gwyneth Paltrow drama Two Lovers departs on September 7, followed by Netflix original Michelle Wolf: It Is Great to Be Here on September 12. The Walking Dead: Dead City season 1 will exit on September 18, and the beloved anime feature My Hero Academia: Two Heroes will leave on September 25, among several others.

As Netflix shakes its vault, the departure of Mad Max: Fury Road marks the end of a thrilling chapter, while an eclectic mix of romance, comedy, survival tales, and anime soon follow. Together, these exits reflect the platform’s ever-shifting library, where no title is permanent, no matter how acclaimed. For viewers, it is both a reminder and an invitation to seize the chance while these stories remain, and to stay ready for whatever new favorites step into the spotlight next.
