The real stars of "Mad Max: Fury Road" are the women Charlize Theron's Furiosa breaks free from a warlord's Citadel.

Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron may be the leads in "Mad Max: Fury Road," but long after leaving the film you'll likely be talking about five other women.

The plot of the apocalyptic high-octane car chase film revolves around five brides - the prized possessions of the film's villainous warlord Immortan Joe. Theron's Imperator Furiosa sets about a plan to break them free from a vicious breeding cycle as an act of vengeance on Joe.

After leaving the film, you may be left wondering the identities of the five young women all playing characters with rather extravagent, flamboyant names. From models and even Elvis' granddaughter here are the wives of "Mad Max: Fury Road."

28-year-old British supermodel and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley plays the leader of the wives, The Splendid Angharad.

Here's how Huntington-Whiteley looked at the "Fury Road" premiere.


If the actress looks familiar it's because you may remember her from "Transformers: Dark of the Moon," in which she took over the lead female role from Megan Fox.

Before her acting career kicked off, she was one of Victoria's Secret Angels. Here she is in November 2010 at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Keough has been in several films including 2010 indie "The Runaways" with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. She also appeared in the original "Magic Mike," in which she played a stripper.

In celebration of the release of "Fury Road," Keough posted a collage of images from on-set to Instagram. 


Keough recently married stuntman Ben Smith-Petersen, who you may recognize as the guitar-wielding man in "Fury Road." The two
met on set while the film was shooting in 2012 

 

 

Zoe Kravitz (26), the daughter of rock star-actor Lenny Kravitz, plays Toast the Knowing.

The actress-model often appears alongside her famous dad at events including the "Hunger Games" premieres and the Academy Awards.

Her next role will be n 2016's "Gods of Egypt," featuring Gerard Butler.
