Radioactive is a music video of Imagine Dragon's song Radioactive. The film has two separate timelines: one follows two modern day scientists' race to save the world from an impending disaster, while the other, an extrapolated future, shows how the life-saving technology of the modern day has been perverted to cause endless conflict. Ultimately, Radioactive depicts the cyclical nature of human invention: healing, then death, which mirrors the Curie's discovery of radium and radioactivity.
