In Time

“Live forever or die trying.”

Will Salas (Justin Timberlake) lives in the ghetto with a countdown clock on his wrist, his life measured in hours and minutes like everyone else born poor. When a dying man gives him a decade of time, Will flees to the wealthy sector to find Sylvia Weis (Amanda Seyfried), a woman with centuries on her clock. Niccol builds the film as a chase through gleaming towers and sterile streets, the ticking clock both literal and relentless.
