Storyline Explores Paranoia and Power
“A wildly entertaining psychological thriller, the film follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap a powerful CEO they believe is an alien out to destroy humanity. What begins as a paranoid act spirals into a battle of delusions and control—one as viscerally unpredictable as it is provocative,”
reads the movie’s official synopsis.
The film is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, known for his distinct storytelling style, and is written by Will Tracy. Producer Ari Aster, recognized for his work on Midsommar, contributes to the creative team. Returning collaborators Stone and Lanthimos have previously worked together on The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness.

The film’s achievements extend to major accolades, with nominations for three Golden Globe awards: Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Best Actor for Plemons, and Best Actress for Stone, recognizing the stand-out performances from both lead and supporting cast.
