For definitions of dystopian please see the article dystopia.

A typical dystopian film is one which is often, but not always, set in the future, in a society where the government is corrupt and/or ineffectual. The world within the film often has nightmare-like qualities, though it also usually includes elements of contemporary society. Often, dystopian films function as radical political commentary and as a warning against some element of contemporary society.
