Men in Black

Dir. Barry Sonnenfeld. 1997, 98 mins. DCP. With Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Linda Fiorentino, Vincent D’Onofrio. This sardonic, New York–set sci-fi smash features Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in comic-cool mode as agents of a top-secret organization that polices extraterrestrial activity on Earth. A whirlwind city adventure, from the Upper East Side to Battery Park to the Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens—with the New York Pavilion featured in a show-stopping set piece—Men in Black is fueled by the central joke that there’s no better place for outer-space aliens to hide than in New York’s diverse melting pot.
