In time, written, produced and directed by Andrew Niccol, released October 28, 2011, is a science fiction film. It opens up the mind’s eye to the term “time is money”. The stars, Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried, brings this across showing two different sides to life. Time zones separate the rich ,who have time to burn and can live for centuries and the poor ,who scramble around day-to-day, trying to find enough time to stay alive. The rich hike up prices in the ghettos, meaning they hoover up all the time for themselves and the poor are left to die young
When scientists undo the secret to immortality, time becomes the new money and one frantic man comes under attack from a strange group known only as the "Time Keepers." In the not-too-distant future, scientists have discovered a way to turn off the aging gene. As the threat of overpopulation looms over society, money becomes a thing of the past.

They are paid with time. If in any case you want live past the 25 years you have to work for it.

The country is divided into "time zones" based on the wealth of its population. The film focuses on two time zones: Dayton is poor, with a general public that has learned indifference to the timed-out bodies on its streets; and New Greenwich,
