Not saying it was some kinda of rip-off, they are just similar.

Men Against Fire is almost the same as Outer Limits - Hearts and Minds. A group of soldiers has to take injections with supposed defense against alien virus. They're going to secure a mine where aliens are mining vital resource. Of course the aliens are just human employees of another company faction after skipping injection one soldier finds out. In the end they're all killed by the enemy soldiers. It turns out that the enemies have injection of their own and see them back as aliens as well.

Playtest is very similar to Brainscan (1994) but takes it one twist further.

Not a movie, however if anyone has played
Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
(
.
Edit: Additionally, I've remembered another piece of content which could be considered wildly similar to
Men Against Fire
is the
Star Trek Voyager
episode
Nemesis
(

). The themes aren't identical, however the idea of "extreme propaganda" comes up repeatedly throughout the episode. -

Also, i didn't had a deja-vu feeling with the "Nosedive" episode, if you saw a movie that have a similar concept tell me.
It's not an exact match, but there are some similarities to the 1980s Twilight Zone episode/story "To See the Invisible Man". You can watch it here;
