8 Dystopian Films That Might Come True

8. Barb Wire

Stealing its plot from Casablanca, Barb Wire casts Pamela Anderson in the Humphrey Bogart role as the bar owner attempting to smuggle a former flame out of the country. What makes the movie different? It’s set in 2017.

The villains in this glorified WWII story are the “Congressional Directorate”, and if you don’t get that they’re supposed to be modern day Nazis then their uniforms will remind you, as will their behaviour. In one sequence, a group of soldiers cackle while standing over a naked woman receiving electroshock treatment, as though they're appearing in Ilsa: She Wolf Of The S.S.

In an America torn apart by civil war, the only “civilized” outpost is Steel Harbor, where Pamela tends bar when she isn’t moonlighting as a bounty hunter who wears leather fetish gear.

The entire film is basically a Democrat’s idea of how a Trump presidency might play out: the liberals and ethnic minorities talk about escaping to Canada, the bad guys are all white nationalists and from the moment Pam “establishes her character” by being hosed down in slow motion, the casual sexism comes thick and fast.
