Idiocracy.

Real answer though, 2001 a space odyssey.

Idiocracy was honestly my first thought, but they wouldn't have all the cultural nuance required to understand it. Someone else said Don't Look Up, which I think would get through the irrationality a bit better.

Haha 2001 was my first thought, and Idiocracy was my second.
