Bio-Dome
Sealed artificial habitat
Bio-Dome is a 1996 comedy film starring Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin as two slackers who accidentally become trapped in an experimental sealed ecosystem.
The title plays on Biosphere 2, the real Arizona research facility.
The film flopped critically but found an audience on cable and home video, becoming a touchstone of 1990s lowbrow comedy.
