The Story
Product Description
Neill Blomkamp writes and directs this sci-fi drama starring Matt Damon
and Jodie Foster. It is the year 2154 and the wealthy have fled the
overpopulated and largely resource-drained Earth in favour of Elysium,
a luxurious space habitat located in the planet's orbit. With no
poverty, no sickness and no war, the contrast between Elysium and the
ravaged planet it revolves around couldn't be starker - and is tough
for those left on Earth to bear. When Max De Costa (Damon) learns that
he has no hope of beating the cancer that has afflicted him without
breaking into Elysium, he understands the scale of the task he has
undertaken. With Secretary Delacourt (Foster) charged with enforcing
Elysium's strict anti-immigration policies and a team of hardened
troops at her disposal, led by the ferocious Agent Kruger (Sharlto
Copley), Max faces the battle of his life if he intends to bridge the
cosmic gap between rich and poor.
