George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road, the fourth movie in his Mad Max franchise, is now regarded as one of the best movies of the decade and one of the greatest action movies of all time.
Premiering in 2015 to rave reviews citing its high-octane action and feminist themes, it went on to win six Oscars including Best Film Editing and Best Costume Design.
However, it was notable snubbed in Best Adapted Screenplay. It's unfortunate considering its screenplay is unlike any other as the video above by Script to Screen shows.

Instead of just describing the action, the screenplay—written by Miller, Brendan McCarthy, and Nico Lathouris—includes storyboards actually visualizing the action.
The movie was actually created as 3,500 storyboard panels first before the screenplay was even written. And it's clear from this video that a lot of what was storyboarded was actually realized on screen.
It's not hard to see why Fury Road is such a highly regarded film. However, watching how the script and storyboard translated onto screen makes it all the more impressive.
