Overview

In the year 2159, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. Secretary Rhodes, a hard line government official, will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve the luxurious lifestyle of the citizens of Elysium. That doesn’t stop the people of Earth from trying to get in, by any means they can. When unlucky Max is backed into a corner, he agrees to take on a daunting mission that, if successful, will not only save his life, but could bring equality to these polarized worlds.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sleek, muscular action thriller that channels righteous fury into spectacle, using a dystopian future to interrogate wealth and access. It's a film that wants to matter, propelled by anger and gunfire in equal measure.
