From visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos comes an explosive psychological thriller that offers a pitch-black comic window into our modern age of madness. Two conspiracy obsessed young men burst out of their online rabbit holes and kidnap Michelle, a high-powered CEO they believe to be an alien. After the pair chain her in a basement and come face-to-face with the enemy, the two sides — the tinfoil-hat basement dwellers and the steely, soulless corporate executive — soon find themselves pitched in a battle as viscerally unpredictable as it is unexpectedly moving. A Focus Features release.
Filmed in Georgia.
