Max is injured in an ambush set for him by the Toecutter, where he is shot in the left leg and has his right arm run over at the elbow. Overwhelmed with grief and rage, he goes AWOL from the MFP, steals their Pursuit Special ("the last of the V8 Interceptors") and systematically pursues and kills each gang member responsible. Max goes on holiday with his family, but this leads to a chain of events that ultimately results in the Toecutter's gang killing Jessie and Sprog. However, he is convinced by his commanding officer to take a vacation before committing to his decision. The sight of Goose's charred body in a hospital bed prompts Max to tender his resignation from the MFP. He reaches a breaking point when a gang of criminally insane bikers led by the Toecutter burn Max's partner Goose alive inside a borrowed ute. Though the best officer on the force, he is secretly afraid that he is becoming as cold and heartless as the criminals he pursues. He and his wife, Jessie, have an infant son, referred to only as "Sprog" (slang for "child") in the film. Max is quiet, rarely speaking to any great extent, and never paying much attention to his steadily increasing reputation. In Mad Max, Max Rockatansky is a Main Force Patrol officer tasked with maintaining law and order on the roads of a dystopian Victoria, Australia.
