Bugonia
Opens October 30, 2025
Two conspiracy-obsessed men kidnap the CEO of a major company when they become convinced that she's an alien who wants to destroy Earth.
Sweaty, dirty, paranoid, and smutty beekeeper Teddy (Jesse Plemons), teams with his impressionable cousin Donny (Aidan Delbis) to kidnap craven biomedical CEO Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), believing she’s an alien from the Andromeda species intent on destroying humanity. Their theory comes from conspiracy podcasts, crackpot online sources, and Teddy’s own experimentation. The pair’s plan will require them, in the words of Teddy, to cleanse themselves of their “psychic compulsions.” Yorgos Lanthimos’ casually sardonic remake of the Korean scifi classic Save the Green Planet uses his trademark dark humor and incredible acting form Stone and Plemons to shake a fist at the world today.
