Wouldn't the Truman show be an example here?

Tangentially at best, The Truman Show is great but there is complete theory of mind between all characters; there is just a big conspiracy.

A real breakdown of theory of mind would mean that there is a breakdown in common understanding. Like with an animal, you don't have complete theory of mind with an animal, and it certainly does not with you -- there is an inability to account for the reasoning of a dog.
