						THE MONTAGE

				BLACK AND WHITE ACADEMY FORMAT

		la.	THE WASTELAND.		DAY.

			Flurries of dust and sand swirl around us as we move
			through an eerie, barren land.  The only sound is the
			howl of a rising wind.

			Ahead something looms out of the storm.  As we approach
			we see that it is the rusting remains of a massive oil
			pump.

			The wind drops to be replaced by the voice of a very old
			man.  This Is the Narrator:

								NARRATOR V/O
					The vision dims and all that remains
					are mememories.  They take me back -
					back to the place where the black
					pump sucked guzzolene from the
					earth...

									DISSOLVE.

		lb.	ANOTHER PART OF THE WASTELAND. DAY.

			Out of the dust storm emerges the ancient wreck of a
			prime mover and fuel tanker.  It is partly charred, its
			wheels and sides studded with metal crossbow bolts.

								NARRATOR V/O
					And I remember the terrible battle
					we fought - the day we left that
					place forever...

									DISSOLVE.

		1c.	A  HILLTOP IN THE WASTELAND.	DAY.

			A warrior, dressed in leather and steel, stands on a
			hill crest.  This is MAX.  Behind him is a strange road
			vehicle:  two engines and a seat mounted on a chassis.

								NARRATOR  V/O
					But, most of all, I remember the
					courage of a stranger, a road
					warrior called Max.  To understand
					who he was you must go back to the
					last days of the old world ...
