Men in Black II
Same planet. New scum.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
Produced by Columbia Pictures, Amblin Entertainment
A fast-paced, irreverent buddy-cop action-comedy that prioritizes wisecracks and spectacle over depth, built on the warmth of reuniting partners and the playful absurdity of alien threats.
Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIB's untarnished mission statement – protecting Earth from the scum of the universe. It's been four years since the alien-seeking agents averted an intergalactic disaster of epic proportions. Now it's a race against the clock as Jay must convince Kay – who not only has absolutely no memory of his time spent with the MIB, but is also the only living person left with the expertise to save the galaxy – to reunite with the MIB before the earth submits to ultimate destruction.
