Does anyone know what this film is?
Basically, someone described this film to me and I really want to see it.
It's based in a society where humans are separated into superior and inferior groups by the government based on their height/intelligence etc.
It isn't Brave New World though.
The story is about a guy in the superior race who (I think) is terminally ill, and decides to switch identities with someone in the inferior race, to give him a chance of a better life. I think I remember being told he has to do stuff to increase his height etc.
Does anyone know what this film is/if it exists?
If it doesn't exist then can someone please make it? Because I really want to see it, thanks.
Squidmaster, you are a legend!

Gattaca.
The plot follows an "inferior" who swaps places with a "superior" who's been crippled. Stars Ethan Hawke and Jude LaW.

Hi there.
It IS Gattaca. The ad line was "there is no gene for the human spirit".
Ethan hawke is in the underclass as he wasn't genetically perfected in the womb. Jude Law WAS perfected, but has broken his back in an accident and is short of cash. So Jude sells his ID to Ethan to let him chase his dream....
It is a brilliant film, genuinely tense and with a real story. Watch it, you won't be sorry.
Good luck, Steve.
PS The check out "Equilibrium" starring Christian Bale, another brilliant movie with a real story.
