The Price of Life(1987)

The Price of Life is a science fiction film that reimagines time itself as a tradeable commodity. In a future where hours of your life function as literal currency, the wealthy can buy centuries while the poor struggle to survive each day. The story follows ordinary people caught in a system where time is money—literally—forcing them to make impossible choices about survival, ambition, and what life is actually worth. As characters navigate a world where every second has a price tag, they confront the brutal economics of mortality and the question of whether anyone can truly afford to live.
