Officer Collins has been spearheading one of the US Army's most secretive experiments to date: the Human Hibernation Project. If successful, the proje...ct would store its subjects indefinitely until they are needed most. Their first test subject - Joe Bauers - was not chosen for his superiority. Instead, he's chosen because he's the most average guy in the armed services. But scandal erupts after the experiment takes place, the base is closed, and the president disavows any knowledge of the project. Unfortunately Joe doesn't wake up in a year, he wakes up in 500 years! But during that time human evolution has taken a dramatic down turn. After waking up, Joe takes a prison-assigned IQ test and finds that he's the smartest guy alive! Awaiting a full presidential pardon if he can solve one of the country's biggest problems - the dwindling plant population, Joe races against time to solve this problem. But in doing so he alienates half the country in the process! Can he make things right and escape a rather bizarre execution? Show More

Details

In the comedic sci-fi film Idiocracy (2006), Officer Collins leads an experimental project called the Human Hibernation Project, aiming to store subjects indefinitely until they are needed. Joe Bauers, an average guy from the armed services, becomes the first test subject. However, a scandal follows as the experiment goes wrong, the base is shut down, and the president denies any knowledge of the project. Instead of waking up after a year, Joe wakes up 500 years later, only to discover a world where human evolution has taken a drastic downturn.

To his surprise, Joe finds that he is now the smartest person in the world by taking an IQ test assigned to him in prison. He is offered a presidential pardon if he can solve a significant issue - the diminishing plant population. Racing against time, Joe tries to tackle this problem, unknowingly alienating half the country in the process. As he tries to rectify his mistakes, he must also avoid a bizarre execution.

Idiocracy is a humorous and satirical take on a dystopian future where intelligence and common sense are in short supply, and average individuals become extraordinary due to a societal decline. The film highlights the importance of intellectual growth, critical thinking, and the consequences of neglecting education and awareness. Through its comedic lens, Idiocracy raises thought-provoking questions about society's direction and the potential consequences of neglecting knowledge and intelligence.
