Mike Judge wrote and directed this offbeat sci-fi comedy which gives a new meaning to the expression "people are getting dumber all the time." Pvt. Joe Bowers (Luke Wilson) is a soldier chosen to take part in a secret military scientific experiment in which he will be put into induced hibernation for one year. Bowers is chosen for the assignment because he is statistically the most average man in the Army; however, Bowers is forgotten when the military base the experiment took place in closes down, and when he wakes up in the year 3001, he finds himself living in a society where intelligence has taken such a landslide he's now the smartest man in the world. What will Bowers do in a nation where an unremarkable man is elevated to the level of a genius? Produced under the title 3001, Idiocracy also stars Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, and Stephen Root.
