I don't quite see it as lucky chance.
What you have is arcs of various stories coming together.
1. The defense minister on Elysium wanted power.
2. Matt Damon's character was seriously injured at work and decided to do anything possible to survive.
These two arcs combined with two other arcs.
3. The mercenary. Slightly psychotic, he became incensed over what took place.
4. The criminal king-pin.
Elysium wasn't a resort. It was a Utopian society. It was the domain of the rich.
The rich used the poor to build the technology they used to keep the poor in line.
