In a genre-bending balls-to-the-wall pitch-black comedy, Lanthimos is back in his second collaboration with powerhouse performers, Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons – and fifth collaboration with Stone.

On what they believe to be the eve of the Armageddon, a conspiracy obsessed young man and his easily led young cousin kidnap a hard-nosed Big Pharma executive whom they believe to be an alien. Chaining her up in a basement, they have three days to break her before her species triggers a planetary collapse via bee extinction.

A battle of wits ensues between the ruthless CEO and the men with a worldview shaped via their computers in their basements – but with a superhero’s drive to save the world.
