A high-power female executive (Emma Stone) has been kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis), who believe she is an alien plotting to destroy Earth. Greek Weird Wave auteur Yorgos Lanthimos reunites with Stone for another freaky adventure—this time with a sci-fi twist. A remake of the Korean dark comedy Save the Green Planet! (2003), Bugonia finds amusement in a world spiralling into madness, driven by environmental crises, corporate greed, and late capitalism.

Yorgos Lanthimos (b. 1973, Greece) had a briefly playing professional basketball before completing his studies in film. After releasing two feature films domestically, his third film Dogtooth (2009) won the Prix un certain regard at the Cannes Film Festival and became an international arthouse hit. His English-language debut The Lobster (2015) was another success at Cannes, winning the Jury Prize. The film later earned him his first Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. His collaboration with American actor Emma Stone includes The Favourite (2018), Poor Things (2023), Kinds of Kindness (2024), and Bugonia (2025).
