film:In Time

 Film redaction: In time
By 2161, genetic alteration has allowed humanity to stop aging at 25 but people are required to earn more time after turning 25 or die when their accumulated time runs out. 'Living time', which can be transferred among individuals on body-contact, has replaced money and its availability is displayed on an implant on people's lower arm. When that clock reaches zero, one dies instantly. Society is divided by social class living in specialized towns called 'Time Zones'. The poor live in the ghettos of Dayton, where youth predominates, and must work each day to earn a few more hours of life, which they must also use to pay for everyday necessities. The rich live in the luxurious city-like town called New Greenwich, in which the middle-aged and elderly predominate, though they look young because they have stopped aging at 25 years old. "For few to be immortal, many must die".

the protagonist, Will Sallas, lives in a slum where people die every day until one day a rich man gives all his time to save his life (he wanted to commit suicide), Will decides to go to the city of the rich, where kidnaps the daughter of the most powerful banker there, but along with the banker's daughter dismantle the entire financial system of an entire generation to share the time with the poor.
