Not only did the plot in RW procede in rather unexpected ways (who out
there expected the Toady to materialize in front of the Feral Kid as he's
reaching out to grab Max's last cartridge on the hood of the tanker???)
but the basis for the plot is as old as the hills.  RW is simply a 
post-holocaust western, with the cowboys holed up in the fort, the 
indians ready to make mincemeat of them, and the Lone Ranger (plus
Tonto and Silver (the later shot by an indian)) there to save the
day.  Of course Max wouldn't be integrated into society - would the
Lone Ranger be?

      Now, does anyone have a REAL western whose plot corresponds to
RW?
