Neil Blomkamp’s first film since District 9, Elysium, is a post-apocalyptic action film set in the year 2154, where the people of Earth live in desolation. Those fortunate enough to be wealthy live on Elysium, an orbiting space station that contains state-of-the-art medical facilities and all the comforts a human could want. Secretary Rhodes aims to protect this utopia from Earthly outsiders using strict anti-immigration policies. When protagonist Max sees his life take a turn for the worse, he has no choice but to embark on a mission to save his life that may bring equality to these polarized worlds.
