There are saying that people who affected by the radiation will die after few days. Matt can't even walk properly and he was scared that he will die. Then, he was crazily finding ways to go to the Elysium because there is a machine that can cure all the diseases or sickness. 

this is the machine that all the poor people who are sick from the Earth want it.

People who want to get cure by this machine must have a Elysium residence id.

The tickets of the spaceship are not cheap and Matt does not have money to pay. So Spider offered him a job which is he want Matt to go to Elysium and change the whole system and let everyone in Earth can go to Elysium. 

Besides, Spider also help Matt to put on a so called costume on his body to support him as he is dying soon. As you can see from the movie poster at the beginning, there is a mini screen behind his head, that is where Spider gonna put a memory card in it and let Matt bring to Elysium and the memory card is the key to change the whole system. 

this is how Matt looks like after he got the costume on. 

the woman is the one with Matt when they are still young. 

Her daughter was having a illness that needed the machine to cure it. 

After a long war, finally Matt, Spider and the woman with her daugther got to go in Elysium because he exchange his memory card with Jodie as the memory card got the information that Jodie wants so badly. Unfortunately, Jodie died before she get the information she wants and she failed to become the people who control the Elysium.

He fullfilled his own dream that he want to go to Elysium one day but he does not have the time to live and enjoy it.
