![]() Army librarian Corporal Joe Bauers is selected for a suspended animation experiment as the "most average" individual in the entire armed forces. Despite its lack of a major theatrical release, which resulted in a mere $495,000 gross at the box office, the film received positive reviews from critics and has since become a cult film. The film was not screened for critics, and the distributor, 20th Century Fox, was accused of abandoning it. Idiocracy serves as a social satire that touches on issues including dysgenics, commercialism, and anti-intellectualism. The experiment goes awry and Joe awakens in the year 2505, in a dystopian world that is incredibly dumbed-down by mass commercialism and mindless TV programming, to find that he has become the smartest man on the planet. Starring Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard and Terry Crews, the film tells the story of Joe Bauers (Wilson), a US Army librarian who, along with prostitute Rita (Rudolph), takes part in a government hibernation experiment. Idiocracy is a 2006 American science fiction comedy film directed by Mike Judge and co-written by Judge and Etan Cohen.
