The justification for enslaving humanity in The Matrix. So the machines have mastered nuclear fusion, but they'd rather use humans to generate heat than, for example, cattle? I could think up any number of more plausible justifications there -- it was just an extremely conspicuous point of no thought in an otherwise creative movie.

Even more importantly, the whole setup violates the laws of thermodynamics. You can't get energy out of nowhere just because you have a bunch of humans locked up. They need to be fed, and whatever you're using to feed them could be processed much more efficiently by a mechanical system than by a person.
