He co-wrote the screenplays for Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome with George Miller, and also penned the novelizations for all three original Mad Max films. His work in Hollywood includes producing Dead Poets Society and writing several other screenplays.
Hayes made a major shift to novels with I Am Pilgrim, published in 2013.
