The whole story of the film is indeed a bit complicated, but it is not chaotic and can be sorted out clearly.
The background of the story is to tell the human beings in the 21st century that we are now in. Human technology has continued to develop at a high speed in the past century, and has continuously developed many higher-end destructive weapons with destructive power no less than the atomic bomb, and then the third time. The world war broke out, and the whole world was in chaos. The war was over in just one hour, human civilization was destroyed in an instant, the global ecological environment was almost completely destroyed, and the global continental plates were also torn apart. The surviving humans gathered together and struggled to survive. After 1000 years, human beings built various large-scale mobile towns and searched for resources to survive by learning and excavating the knowledge of ancient human beings and the remaining technology. It was a world where machinery and wildness coexisted. There were no laws, no countries, and more like A tribe of different sizes. The film's villain is a radical historian obsessed with ancient technology, who is actually a scientist. Because the so-called history in the film is mainly aimed at ancient technology, historians are scientists. The villain felt that there was nothing wrong with the human beings at that time, and only absolute force could exchange for permanent peace. Once, by accident, he is also a historian's wife (because it seems that there is no marriage in the film), and found an ancient human's mass destruction weapon construction data box. The villain wants to build the weapon, but the wife is firmly opposed. So the villain was killed, and the villain's daughter, the heroine, was lucky enough to escape. Then there is the plan of the villain, the former god and the latter, the devil's plan to build weapons. After the heroine escaped, he was rescued and raised by a feared robot called a zombie. The origin of the robot may seem a bit sudden, but it is easy to guess with the background of the film. Robots are actually mechanical warriors combined with humans and machines in the ancient human era. In short, they are human brains and mechanical bodies. Since their main use is war, all their memories have been cleared for better control, but the clearing is not complete, and some memory fragments remain. Robots survived the war, but because of their physical differences, they were rejected by humans. People feared them and called them zombies. So they are all lonely, and the loneliness for more than 1,000 years can be imagined how terrible. When the robot adopted the heroine, he no longer felt lonely, but he knew that human lifespan was very short for him, so he wanted to transform the heroine into a robot like him, so that the heroine could always be with him He, the mistress also agreed. But once the heroine heard that the city where the murderer of her mother was located was going to pass by her neighborhood, so she broke the promise at the time to take revenge, and then the robot went to the heroine, and was accidentally caught, and so on. The plot after that should be better understood
Personally, I feel pretty good. I feel that the style of the film is quite different. It has a unique and unique feeling like Mad Max. But there is a possible misunderstanding to say that the electromagnetic tower built by the villain is actually just one of the many large-scale destruction weapons of ancient humans. At that time, there should be many such weapons and even more terrifying weapons. Otherwise, although the destructive power of the weapons in the film is amazing, it is not enough to destroy the global civilization in one hour. What's also unclear is how the leader of the mountain country and the guards around him in the film look like Mongolians. There is no other meaning, but it is very strange why the director thought of setting it as a Mongolian.
