Was this comms? - The movie "The Island" (2005) was set in 2019. They used a virus / contamination to fool the citizens into staying inside. Movies are used to communicate from what i understand...

I thought The Island was a good movie, most people didn't like it. The people were tricked in to staying in to this perfect area and then they would randomly get selected to go on vacation to "The Island" which was actually an organ donation center, where their organs would be harvested to give to people who had paid money to reserve backup organs. So the main character escapes after realizing this, and they run through the real world, which is a kind of post-apocalyptic desert area.

I thought it was pretty compelling and had some great action scenes, but most people didn't seem to care for it for some reason. Kind of like Equilibrium, which I felt was overshadowed by The Matrix (which was also very very good)
