Mike Judge's 2006 satire jumps roughly 500 years from Joe Bauers's ordinary life in the early 21st century. Joe and Rita are supposed to be in a military hibernation experiment for only one year, but they wake up in the year 2505.

Luke Wilson plays Joe Bauers, an average United States Army private whose practical knowledge becomes unusual in the future society. Maya Rudolph plays Rita, the other participant in the failed hibernation experiment.

Mike Judge directed both Idiocracy and Office Space, but Idiocracy is a separate 2006 science-fiction comedy. The film uses the same observational style to satirize media, politics, corporations, and declining public knowledge.
