''Code 46'' is a 2003 British film by MichaelWinterbottom, starring TimRobbins and SamanthaMorton.
In the near future, William Geld, an insurance fraud investigator, receives orders to unmask a forger of "papelles" (visas) operating in Shanghai. However, his life takes a turn for the unexpected when he falls in love with the perpetrator, Maria Gonzalez.

!!Examples:
* ArtisticLicenceGeography: There are no deserts outside of Shanghai. This was a deliberate choice by the filmmakers to show the devastation wrought by global warming.
* AsceticAesthetic: The interior of Sphinx's offices are quite creepy.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: Played with. There are very few security cameras in this world. [[spoiler: On the other hand, implanted "viruses" can manipulate human behaviour.]]
* ChinaTakesOverTheWorld: The film is mostly set in Shanghai. Dialogue involving the casual use of Mandarin slang heavily implies that China's become a strong economic and cultural influence.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Shanghai and the other cities.
** [[CrapsackWorld Still better than living on the outside...]]
** TruthInTelevision: Just check out what the page on RealLife has to say about this.
* DownerEnding
** DiabolusExMachina
** ShootTheShaggyDog
* {{Dystopia}}: Inside the cities, ultra-capitalist and authoritarian governments have absolute control, [[spoiler: including over human memories]]. Meanwhile, the outside world is a desert populated by the poor and homeless.
* TheEmpath: William takes pills which give him an "empathy virus", allowing him to probe the emotions of the people he investigates. [[spoiler: The government decides an error in the virus caused him to fall in love with Maria, sparing him, but not her, from exile.]]
* FakeNationality: Maria Gonzalez is played by Samantha Morton, an English actress. This was probably a deliberate choice by the filmmakers, to show how racially diverse the future has become.
