The Outer Limits (1995)

S06E09 Stasis

In 2123, a world ravaged and stripped of resources has led to a society categorized into three groups. The Alphas, represented by Larissa, work part-time while spending the rest in a state called stasis. Betas, like Eric, alternate between work and stasis alongside the Alphas. At the top are the Elite, a ruling class that oversees both groups. As they face mounting threats from stasis-jumpers of the Resistance, the Elite push for drastic measures to ensure humanity's survival. Yet, their plans overlook a vital force: love. Larissa and Eric find themselves deeply connected, communicating only through secret holograms and the moments they share in their stasis pod.
