That's the Sinclair Lewis book.
Can't say for sure if "It Could Happen Here" is the title of a book or a movie.

It Can't Happen Here - Wikipedia
The 1968 television movie Shadow on the Land, which also went by the title United States: It Can't Happen Here, was produced by Screen Gemsas a backdoor pilot for a series. The TV movie, a thriller which takes place following the fascist takeover, is often cited as an adaptation of Lewis's novel but does not credit the novel.

It Can't Happen Here Sinclair Lewis 3.78 17,691 ratings2,903 reviews
The only one of Sinclair Lewis's later novels to match the power of Main Street, Babbitt, and Arrowsmith, It Can't Happen Here is a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America.
