About
As of 2026, it's 29 years old.
Men in Black paired Will Smith's wisecracks with Tommy Lee Jones's total deadpan to create a sci-fi comedy about a secret agency policing the aliens secretly living among us — and the little gadget that flashes away your memory so you never find out. Sleek, funny, and effortlessly cool.
The neuralyzer, the noisy alien bug villain, and Smith's hit theme song made it a summer phenomenon.
Slick, funny, and endlessly rewatchable, Men in Black is the film that made covert alien-wrangling look like the coolest desk job in the universe.
