Idiocracy is a satirical science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge. The movie presents a dystopian future where society has become incredibly dumbed down due to the effects of consumerism, anti-intellectualism, and reality television. The story follows an average man who wakes up 500 years in the future and finds himself to be the smartest person alive. Idiocracy humorously critiques the direction of society, highlighting the consequences of intellectual apathy and the prioritization of entertainment over education. The film's exaggerated portrayal of a dumbed-down world serves as a cautionary tale and a biting social commentary.
