I'm not sure any of these quite work because they all optimistically posit the continued existence of humanity.

missed this but would have voted boy and his dog for its inclusion of a wealthy and fortified recreation of the 1950s, a key feature of our future

the running man meanwhile is more like our present

(as is children of men of course)

Some others that might have been fun: Elysium, Johnny Mnemonic (Gibson’s “Sprawl”), Demolition Man, Wall-E, maybe Altered Carbon.
