In
2154, two classes of people exist: the wealthy, who live on an advanced
space station
called Elysium, built by the Armadyne Corporation, where there is no
disease, poverty, or war, and the poor, who live on an overpopulated,
ruined Earth. A high-ranking Elysian government minister, Jessica
Delacourt (Jodie Foster), employs vicious South African mercenary Kruger
(Sharlto Copley) to eliminate the illegal immigrants attempting to
reach Elysium and use itsadvanced Med-Pods. President Patel (Faran
Tahir) disagrees with her methods and threatens to dismiss her, in
addition to firing Kruger
Delacourt convinces Armadyne's CEO, John Carlyle (William Fichtner),
to write a computer program that can override Elysium's controls and
make her President in return for renewing Armadyne's defense contracts
on Elysium for the next two hundred years. Carlyle agrees, and, after
creating the program, stores it in his own mind for safekeeping until he
leaves Earth for Elysium. Meanwhile, Max Da Costa (Matt Damon),
an ex-con who lives in the ruins of Los Angeles and works in one of
Armadyne's factories, reconnects with an old friend, Frey (Alice Braga),
who works as a nurse in a rundown hospital and has a daughter, Matilda,
who is dying of leukemi
