Men in Black

Men in Black

1997

This sci-fi comedy stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones as J and K, agents in a top secret, above-the-government agency monitoring alien activity on Earth. Before rookie agent J even breaks in his stylish black suit, the team is called to save a galaxy from a bad-tempered alien "bug" and save Earth from total annihilation. Palpable on-screen chemistry between the stars made this a big box office draw and led to the inevitable sequel.
