Idiocracy Full Film -

The film opens in 2005 with U.S. Army Librarian Corporal Joe Bauers (Luke Wilson). Joe is a perfectly average, unassuming, and slightly apathetic man. He likes beer, football, and his routine. He is selected for a top-secret military "Human Hibernation Project" alongside a prostitute named Rita (Maya Rudolph), due to her similarly "average" psychological profile.

500 years later, the hibernation pods automatically thaw out. Joe and Rita crawl to the surface of a unrecognizable America. The world they find is a dystopian nightmare of rampant stupidity, consumerism, and environmental collapse.

Joe is brought to the White House (now a garish, trash-strewn casino). He explains the simple problem: plants need water, not Brawndo. He is met with blank stares. "But Brawndo has electrolytes," they say. Joe asks, "What are electrolytes?" They don't know. "They're what plants crave." idiocracy full film

Camacho reinstates Joe. They broadcast Joe’s simple farming technique across the nation. Using human waste to fertilize and water crops becomes the new revolution. Joe becomes a folk hero.

Rita helps Joe escape. They steal a time machine prototype (a broken-down police car) and flee into the wasteland. They find an old, abandoned farm with a functioning irrigation system. Joe rigs it to run on toilet water. Within days, the dead crops spring to life, growing enormous, healthy produce. The film opens in 2005 with U

President Camacho is facing a massive crisis. The nation’s crops are dying, leading to a looming famine. His best scientific minds (a bunch of wrestlers and strippers) have failed. In desperation, he sees Joe’s high IQ test score (which is a three-digit number, a concept they can barely understand) and declares Joe the new "Secretary of the Interior."

Donald wakes up in the future, takes one look around at the chaos, smiles, and says: "This is a lot like my old apartment." The implication: society hasn't devolved into idiocy by chance—it has been deliberately engineered by the kind of selfish, shortsighted people Donald represents. He will fit right in. He likes beer, football, and his routine

The epilogue shows a revitalized (but still very stupid) America. Joe and Rita have fallen in love and have a family. Joe becomes the most revered leader in history, eventually having his face carved onto Mount Rushmore (which now includes him, Camacho, and two other bizarre figures).
