Plot Summary
The narrative of two conspiracy-obsessed young men, Alex (Jesse Plemons) and Max (Jesse Plemons), who think that Earth’s fate is in jeopardy, is told in the quirky and unconventional science fiction comedy Bugonia. Believing that Evelyn Hart (Emma Stone), the mysterious CEO of a large tech company, is actually an alien species bent on destroying humanity, they decide to take matters into their own hands.
They kidnap Evelyn as part of their extravagant scheme to reveal her evil schemes, which sets off a hilarious and ridiculous chain of events. The distinction between reality and illusion becomes more hazy as Evelyn, a clever and resourceful woman, attempts to negotiate her freedom. The mismatched trio is forced to confront their own beliefs and the humanity of each other as they become entangled in a series of humorous mishaps, misunderstandings, and revelations.
