Men in Black

ActionAdventureComedySci-Fi98 min

After chasing a suspect who turns out not to be human, NYPD officer James Edwards is pulled into the Men in Black, a secret agency policing alien life on Earth. Will Smith is the new recruit, Agent J, paired with Tommy Lee Jones’s veteran Agent K, whose blank-suited, unflappable manner hides a job built on memory wipes, undercover extraterrestrials, and quiet damage control across New York City. Their first assignment drops them into a case involving an intergalactic assassin, two alien ambassadors, and the realization that the city’s strangest residents have been there all along.
