It’s already here.
We’re going through the previews.
I hope we all live to see the credits run at the end.
Yes, this is the answer!
NOT a movie but in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode “Past Tense” Sisko goes back in time to 2024 United States where “sanctuary districts” had been established to house the unemployed with the promises of jobs. The government then began to forcefully intern people into them, including people with mental health problems who could not afford health care as well as the poor. Laws prohibiting sleeping on the streets were further used to justify the forceful internment of residents to the districts
The internees were forbidden to leave “for their own protection”. The districts also did not provide any meaningful jobs so that people could find a way out.
All good answers. I’ll nominate ‘The Purge’, which I don’t think has been mentioned yet. After all, at a recent rally just a couple months ago, trump described wanting a scenario to happen that sounded very much like the plot of The Purge.
If he goes through with Project 2025’s plans for the EPA: Delicatessen.
Brazil Bureaucratic malfeasance fueled by self interest and antipathy. Every problem, however small, will be ignored because the interested parties profiting can afford more influence than you.
Optimistically, if we get past the post-apocalyptic stage, Beach Blanket Bingo.
The Running Man, with a side order of The Purge
Something like The Bedsitting Room.
Mad Max (the first original one). Economic collapse, families retreat from the cities into rural subsistence farms trading, gangs run wild, government services are reduced to volunteer vigilantism. Regional accents become so pronounced that their voices no longer match their faces.
