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 and anti-intellectual. It follows the story of Joe Bauers, an average man who wakes up 500 years in the future and finds himself the smartest person in the world. Idiocracy satirizes consumerism, reality television, and the decline of intellectualism in society. With its exaggerated portrayal of a dumbed-down future, the film serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of anti-intellectualism and the importance of critical thinking.
