Elysium is a 2013 American science fiction action thriller film written, co-produced and directed by Neill Blomkamp and starring Matt Damon and Jodie Foster. It was released on August 9, 2013 in both conventional and IMAX Digital theaters. Elysium is a co-production of Media Rights Capital and TriStar Pictures. The film takes place on both a ravaged Earth and a luxurious space habitat called Elysium. It explores political and sociological themes such as immigration, health care and class issues.
When the film was first announced, Sony intended to release it in late 2012. It later set an official release date for March 8, 2013, before moving one week earlier to prevent competing against Oz the Great and Powerful. In October 2012, Sony then announced they had pushed back the release date to August 9, 2013.
In 2154, two classes of people exist: the very 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, controlled by a robot police force. The Elysian Secretary of Defense, Jessica Delacourt (Jodie Foster), employs vicious South African mercenary Kruger (Sharlto Copley) to eliminate the illegal immigrants attempting to reach Elysium and use its advanced medical devices (so called Med-Pods). President Patel (Faran Tahir) disagrees with her methods and threatens to dismiss her, in addition to firing Kruger.
Delacourt convinces Armadyne's billionaire 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 android factories, reconnects with an old friend, Frey (Alice Braga), who works as a nurse in the rundown County Hospital and has a daughter, Matilda, who is dying of leukemia.
