Maybe a conspiracy movie?

I am looking for a movie for somebody else. I do not have much info, here it goes:
A man finds/stumbles upon a place where there are a lot of monitors showing the city/town. Not long after that the people start behaving strangely. There is some sort of substance/drug that is put into everything, for example into food (hamburger maybe?). There is a place under the city/town where they are experimenting on people.
My guess is that it might be a conspiracy thriller(?) movie, or even maybe a sci-fi(?) movie.
That is all the info I have. Not much, but any help would be appreciated.

Do you happen to know when they saw the movie (time period) was it English movie? There is a lot of movies that could technically fit some of this subject but maybe if we could get the timeline of when they saw it we could eliminate some. Thanks.

Hey, afamouspetty, I do not know these details, but I will try to collect this info from the person who is looking for this movie. If I have these details, or more info, I will update my question. Thanks!

The Island (2005 film) - I remember lots of monitors

Hey, LewdGeralt, thank you for the suggestion, but this is not the right movie.

Any idea which year?

You aren't thinking about Equilibrium (2002), right? Because in that movie, people are forced to take a substance so that they don't feel any emotion.

THX 1138, a pre-Star Wars George Lucas movie. In the film mind altering drugs are used as to ensure that no one in society will complain with their horrible dangerous jobs. Love, emotions, and family are all concepts removed from culture, until one man ensds up accidentally not taking a pill, and experiences the raw power of love for the first time. Monitors at 5:00 and taking the pills at 13:50 timestamp

Unfortunately I do not know the year, but I will ask. Regarding "Equilibrium", I know that movie very well, it is one of my favourite movies, I will forward this suggestion to the person who is looking for it.

sleep dealer?

eagle eyes (shia lebouf)?

Hey, VHS, buddy, thanks for your suggestions. "Eagle Eye" is not the right movie, but I will forward "Sleep Dealer" to the person who is looking for it and I will get back to you if I get a response.

Hey, thank you for the suggestion, but this is not the right movie.

I haven’t watched it in a long time but do you remember if it was a strange type of animation? It sounds like it could be Metropia.

Hey, z0ne_tripper, thanks for the suggestion. I do not think that this is the right movie, but I will forward it to the person who is looking for it, and I will ask if it is an animated movie. I will get back to you if I have a response.

No problem! If they have any other info, I would love to keep helping.

Wild guess

Another wild guess

There is a movie that I am trying to remember too that there is a conspiracy going maybe by aliens or such and they control people with outdoors with ads/propaganda videos that control the mind of people. There is some known actors and the the girl might be Anne Hathaway or some girl on that line. It has a THEY LIVE vibe and I am almost sure is from the 2000's or 2010's... I thinktheir main transport is bus and the main actress sees some bug on the outdoors while passing by them by bus (I may be wrong). And so she sees a glimpse of who they really are behind the outdoors video ads.
