Idiocracy

Idiocracy

In the future, intelligence is extinct.

200685 min6.4 / 10

A caustic, high-energy satirical comedy that uses absurdist humor and dystopian worldbuilding to skewer consumer culture, anti-intellectualism, and institutional stupidity.

To test its top-secret Human Hibernation Project, the Pentagon picks the most average European-Americans it can find - an Army private and a prostitute - and sends them to the year 2505 after a series of freak events. But when they arrive, they find a civilization so dumbed-down that they're the smartest people around.
