Revheads rejoice — Mad Max: Fury Road is speeding into Melbourne.

The Academy Award-winning movie will come to life in a world-first event as part of the revamped White Night Reimagined.

Film footage will be combined with live performance, projections on the Royal Exhibition Building and special effects in a 15-minute show set to a soundtrack.

The experience will also give fans a chance to get up close to the Doof Wagon, the Gigahorse and the Razor Cola Interceptor.
