The 6-minute video opens at the dawn of mankind, where the brutality of human survival is rife. Advancements in weaponry act as a transition through the ages and into the future. We are introduced to two space travelers, whose mission is at a perilous risk. An alien creature offers a hand at help, but their primitive instinct is to attack – subsequently sabotaging their space quest. The film explores both the evolving and unaltered human personality.
The band listed Radiohead’s Paranoid Android as a reference for how they wanted this video to feel when combined with the music. Their song “Necessary Evil” is driving and melancholic, and the goal was to juxtapose that with a colorful and epic satirical take on billionaires buying their way to space. Combine that with some of our favorite sci-fi as inspiration and the result is a humorous commentary on technology, progress, and human nature.
