Storyline

After an eye-opening encounter of the third kind, the secret MiB organisation's newest recruit, Agent M, finds herself under the wing of the heroic Agent H in cosmopolitan London, when a shape-shifting duo of intergalactic assassins executes an alien aristocrat. Now, with a devastating super-weapon of mass destruction hidden somewhere on Earth, the Men in Black will leave no stone unturned to retrieve it. However, heavy clouds of mistrust and a scent of betrayal envelop the once-incorruptible agency. Is there a well-placed mole in their midst?

User Reviews

Chris Hemsworth &Tessa Thompson have great chemistry

I enjoyed MIB:International for the lighthearted fluff it's meant to be. I saw the 1st MIB when it came out, and 20+ years later Siobhahn Fallon's performance is my most consistently hilarious memory of the series. I am fairly certain that I saw MIB2, but I know for sure that I never watched MIB3. My only interest in MIB:International was seeing if CH and TT were as fun to watch as in Thor:Ragnarok, and the answer is yes! Their comedic chemistry is such that it is as easy to see her climb him like a tree and turn him into her sex slave, as it is to just see them bro it out. They play so well together that I hope they become the kind of acting team that just chooses fun opportunities to work together.
