In Time (2011)

In the future, time is money, quite literally.  Genetic engineering has allowed us to arrest the aging process at the age of 25 - guaranteeing a world of beautiful people - but there's obviously not room for everyone to live forever, so when you hit 25 you're allotted one year of time.  You can work to earn more, of course, but everything you buy will erode your balance.  A bus trip?  Two hours.  A cup of coffee?  Four hours.  A car?  59 years.

Will Salas has spent most of the three years since he turned 25 living day to day, quite literally, with little more than 24 hours left on his clock.  When he helps out a stranger, though, he suddenly finds himself in possession of a century's worth of future ... assuming he can live long enough to enjoy it.

Of course, Will Salas is not the kind of guy who easily gives up ...

So for all the science fiction element of the time-as-currency thing, In Time feels like a film that is very much about the concerns of movements like "Occupy": the concentration of wealth into a smaller and smaller elite, the erosion of the living standards of a growing part of the population, the creation of barriers and walls to separate the haves and have-nots, and the need to take some kind of action to rectify things.

Of course you're free to ignore all that political and economic element and just enjoy it as a relatively entertaining SF action flick full of attractive people, but I'm guessing that the film will resonate most effectively with those who agree with its basic themes and don't mind that it's more than a bit heavy-handed and didactic in its presentation.
