Synopsis...
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. The people of Earth
are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the
state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium - but some in Elysium will
stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens'
luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance bring equality to these
worlds is Max, an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his
life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission - one
that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt and her hard-line forces -
but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people
on Earth as well.
