There's Frederick Pohl story, "The Tunnel Under The World" that's got a reset plot point. It also has aspects of The Truman Show, and modern A/B testing, robot evil us'es, and the LEGO movie. Here it is, dramatized on X-1: archive.org...
Avatar 3:30pm

The Truman Show's best scene IMO is much better with the extended deleted scene. Just a lot of atmosphere and him feeling paranoid, and nothing happening.
