The video features an iconic Tina Turner dressed in a heavy chain mail gown, more or less in character as Aunt Entity. Striking a bold pose atop an illuminated circular pedestal, as several spotlights train themselves on her and the camera swoops beneath her, she proceeds to sing atop the platform while various scenes from the movie are shown. In the last part of the song, Turner's tour saxophonist Tim Capello and a children's choir accompany Tina. The music video received an MTV Video Music Award nomination for Best Female Video. ______________________________________ "We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" was the hit theme song to the 1985 film Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.

"We Don't Need Another Hero (Thunderdome)" was released at the peak of Tina Turner's musical career, on the heels of her multiplatinum Private Dancer album and its many hit singles.

The song received a Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song in 1986 and a 1986 Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
