The War Rig is racing down Fury Road through the apocalyptic wasteland in Mad Max:Fury Road and you feel like you’re along for the ride. The expansive soundtrack pulls you deep into the action. You start to fear for your life...

Welcome to a world created by spectacular cinematography and the equally spectacular soundtrack, mixed in Dolby Atmos by Matthew Ladarola.

“What I notice with Atmos is you really have the sense you’re moving forward with the people on the screen,” says Ladarola, a Hollywood re-recording mixer. “In the opening sequence, Max has run off and he’s being chased by a car that’s taking a leap over a precipice and the sound starts in the back, goes overhead, and then lands in front of you on the screen. I mean that’s the best thing you can do—sort of transcend the space you’re in and it feels like you’re right there.”

Ladarola offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what went into the making of the Atmos soundtrack for Mad Max: Fury Road in this video.
