Plucked from the ranks of the US Army because he is the most unremarkable, average individual they have, Corporal Joe Bauers participates in a top-secret human hibernation experiment that is intended to put him to sleep for a year. He is joined by prostitute Rita, who believes that she will escape from pending criminal charges if she takes part. After a series of mishaps, including the arrest and incarceration of the officer in charge of the project, the unlucky pair are abandoned and forgotten, only to wake up 500 years later in a world where the rampant breeding of stupid people has created a universally dumb society ruled by half-wits. Thus Joe and Rita find themselves in a brave new world where they are the two most towering intellects on the planet in Mike Judge's sci-fi comedy.
