The struggle against a totalitarian government is unsurprisingly a frequent theme in dystopian literature and cinema. Totalitarianism is a political concept where the state recognizes no limits to its authority and strives to regulate every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. Even though dystopian states are not neccesarily totalitarian and vice versa, dystopians films often deal with totalitarian societies or ones that have degraded environmentally or socially.
