Elysium might be good but I will wait for reviews.

In the year 2154, the very wealthy live on Elysium stanford torus[6], a massive high-tech utopian metropolis located in orbit around earth that is free of crime, war, poverty, hunger, and diseases, while everyone else lives on an overpopulated, ruined Earth below.

Sounds like Star Trek's (TOS) The Cloud Minders.
