A conspiracy theorist (Jesse Plemons) enlists his autistic cousin to help him kidnap the powerful CEO of a pharmaceutical company (Emma Stone), suspecting she is an alien out to destroy Earth. Acclaimed Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, celebrated for his surreal and darkly comedic visual style, brings together elements of classic thriller and black comedy in this remake of the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet!
“Pitched expertly on a fulcrum of absurdity and caustic honesty about the fix we’re in while poking the sore spots of various modern social ills” Ty Burr, Boston Globe
“Stone and Plemons prove ideal co-conspirators, with carefully balanced performances that have them taking turns as hero and villain without ever quite annihilating our sympathies or winning them outright.” Robbie Collin, The Telegraph
