2020 · Film · documentary · 115 min
Directed by Matt Wolf
In 1991 a group of countercultural visionaries built an enormous replica of earth’s ecosystem called Biosphere 2. When eight “biospherians” lived sealed inside, they faced ecological calamities and cult accusations. Their epic adventure is a cautionary tale but also a testament to the power of small groups reimagining the world.

Exactly — highly recommend the 2020 documentary Spaceship Earth
There's a documentary about the experiment called Spaceship Earth (2020)
https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/653575-spaceship-earth
They've done this for real (spaceship earth) and in movies and TV several times (biodome, and my personal favorite "moon base 8" with John C Riley)
Have you watched spaceship earth, the biosphere 2 documentary? I remember learning about it in science class in middle school so it had an aire of legitimacy to it, but that story is nuts, including the fact that it was basically started by a cult with a billionaire best friend and Steve Bannon(yes, that one) being Director of the project for a while.
Here it is on Hulu: https://www.hulu.com/movie/spaceship-earth-e3636bb2-0aab-43bf-843c-96a4dde8d9a3
The documentary Spaceship Earth on Hulu is about all of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaceship_Earth_(film). Really worth watching.
