Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment is releasing Elysium on Blu-ray™, DVD and UltraViolet™ from December 12, 2013.
With an all-star cast, including Golden Globe® and Academy Award® winning actor Matt Damon, Sharlto Copley and Academy Award®, Golden Globe®, Prime-time Emmy® award winning actress Jodie Foster, Elysium brings the almost extraterrestrial world of Earth’s future, rife with poverty and crime, to life.
Shot on location at Mexico City’s Bordo Poniente landfill, the world’s second largest dump, Elysium rips audiences from 2013 and catapults them into the year 2159, where two classes of people exist: the wealthy elite who live on a pristine space station called Elysium, and the impoverished masses, living in squalor on the parched and frenzied Earth.
When Max (Damon), is backed into a corner and faces the full force of Elysium’s power and corruption head-on, he finds himself as the unlikely hero as he reluctantly takes on the dangerous mission to do the impossible – break into Elysium.
