Idiocracy Full Film Info

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.

It opens, revealing the man who was originally supposed to be the "most average" subject: a defense attorney named Donald. He was swapped out at the last minute by Joe because "that guy was an asshole."

Joe is horrified. He is, by default, the smartest person alive. He tries to find a library or a record of his family, only to find that all books have been replaced by picture-based "books" with single words like "FART" and "POOP." The internet is a series of animated bouncing logos.
