What non DS media captures Dark Sun well? Movies, books, comics, etc.

The 27th day of #30DaysofDarkSun is here and the question is "What non DS media captures Dark Sun well? Movies, books, comics, etc."

I like my Dark Sun dark and gritty, so the things I associate with it outside of the game are dark and gritty as well. I love other games, like Apocalypse World and All Flesh Must be Eaten. As for novels...it doesn't get much darker than The Road. However, my favorite piece of non-Dark Sun genre media would have to be the Mad Max movies, specifically Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. The small bandit kingdoms, the strange characters, the desert wasteland, and of course the Thunderdome itself and it's gladiatorial combat.
