The dark comedy film stars Emma Stone as Michelle Fuller, the CEO of a major pharmaceutical company, and Jesse Plemons as Teddy Gatz, a beekeeper and conspiracy theorist.The story revolves around Teddy and his neurotic cousin Don (played by Aidan Delbis), who believe that Michelle is a high-ranking alien, a so-called "Andromedan," who has taken over Earth with the intention of destroying it. The two men kidnap Michelle and hold her captive in their rural basement, where they subject her to bizarre interrogation and torture, hoping to force her to contact her "mothership" and negotiate the aliens' withdrawal.As the desperate CEO tries to convince her captors she is human, it's revealed Teddy's anger is fueled by a combination of his fear for humanity (including the collapse of bee colonies) and a quest for revenge, as Michelle's company is responsible for a drug trial that left his mother (Alicia Silverstone) comatose.Bugonia was mainly filmed in locations across the United Kingdom and the United States, including locations in High Wycombe and Oxshott, England, and the city of Atlanta, Georgia.
