22世纪中叶，地球并未借助文明和科技的进步变得更加美好，反而在各种贪欲荼毒之下变成毫无希望的废墟荒原。少数极度富有之人抛弃生身故乡，在漂浮于地球之上的空间站上建立了宛若天堂般美好的乐土，继续过着享乐奢靡的幸福生活。而绝大多数的穷苦人不得不留在千疮百孔的地球上，在绝望的混乱之中苟延残喘，同时被迫忍受各...种严苛可笑的联邦法规的压迫。他们在富人建立起来的工业系统下努力赚取稀薄的营生，时而仰望苍穹，幻想着早日移民空间站开始新的生活。无奈在政府官员德拉库特（朱迪·福斯特 饰）的铁腕掌控下，偷渡者一次次化作宇宙中的碎片。
工作中受到强辐射的普通人麦克斯（马特·达蒙 饰），除非借助空间站先进的医疗系统，否则五天后将一命呜呼。纵使仅有一线生机，也要朝着极乐世界挺进……
本片是《第九区》导演尼尔·布洛姆坎普的第二部长片电影，也是他的第一部全英文对白电影。·索尼旗下的TriStar电影公司是影片的制片方之一。这是从1998年的《佐罗的面具》之后，TriStar所参与制作的第一部大制作影片。
影片中，地球场景在墨西哥城附近的贫民窟里摄制，而极乐空间里的富人区也在墨西哥城里的富人区里摄制。此外，剧组还在温哥华取景。
影片的主角原本是计划由饶舌歌手艾米纳姆来扮演的，但是他却希望影片能在底特律摄制，剧组显然没有办法满足他的这个要求。所以，主角就被换成了马特·达蒙。
