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.
25-year-old Riley Keough plays the fiery, red-headed Capable.

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

Eaton, who makes her film debut in "Fury Road," told The Hollywood Reporter she auditioned for the role because of her father.
"I was with a modeling agency and the casting directors came to my agency and asked me to do a tape," said Eaton. "And then my dad, he's a massive fan, made me do the audition. So I have him to thank."
Her next role will be n 2016's "Gods of Egypt," featuring Gerard Butler.
