The Twilight Zone (TOS): “The Old Man in the Cave”
In the far-off year of 1974(!), a small group of people who somehow managed to survive a nuclear war were dependent on the word of a mysterious old man in a cave who had never been seen by anyone. The old man gave them advice that permitted the people to survive but not necessarily thrive.
One day a self-styled military man who claimed to represent a new central government came by and persuaded the people to ignore the old man's advice. As a result, everyone save the one holdout who still obeyed the old man ended up dying horribly as a result of ingesting contaminated food.
As usual, it can be assumed that the morale of this story is in no way applicable to today's events. In no way, I say. And not just because none of our current authority figures look anything like James Coburn...
