 導演寓言式地假定西元2055年地球將因暖化而毀滅，從而回溯2010年全球災難的警訊，以及所有人類可以挽救暖化危機的關鍵時機，警示我們必須正視環境問題，否則將步向滅亡。

影片中不僅描述了氣候變遷的前因後果，同時也揭露了在經濟掛帥的工商社會中，政府與企業忽視暖化問題的「愚蠢」行徑，必須靠你、我，及所有人的知覺與力量採取行動。

The British film The Age of Stupid by Franny ARMSTRONG takes an unsparing look at the development of humanity before the background of global catastrophe. With dramaturgic skill, it combines a fictional narrative level with documentary elements when tracing the path to ecological disaster from the perspective of the year 2050, with the aid of “flashbacks.” Above all, the film poses the question: why did we not prevent our doom while we still had the chance to do so? The film succeeds not only in pointing out the objective contours of climate change, but also in revealing the internal contradictions and cultural barriers that make acting so difficult.
