Plot [edit]

In July 2002, Agent J has become a meridian agent but has developed a addiction of neuralyzing partners he feels aren't emotionally able to cope with the work. When he is called to investigate the murder of an alien, Ben, at his pizzeria, waitress Laura Vasquez tells him that the murderers are Serleena, a shapeshifting, worm-like Kylothian who has taken the form of a Victoria's Secret lingerie model, and her two-headed retainer Scrad and Charlie. Laura says they were looking for something called the Light of Zartha. J is strongly attracted to Laura, and in violation of MiB rules, does not neuralyze her to erase her memories.

J finds that little is known well-nigh the Low-cal of Zartha, except that it is immensely powerful. Every bit he investigates the crime, every atomic number 82 points to his erstwhile partner and mentor, Amanuensis K, who was neuralyzed upon retirement five years previously and remembers zero of his MIB service. In Truro, Massachusetts, where K is now the town'southward postmaster, J convinces him of his past by proving that all of his fellow postal workers are aliens.

Dorsum in New York Metropolis, Serleena, along with Scrad and Charlie, launches an attack on MIB headquarters before One thousand's neuralyzation tin can exist reversed, only Jack Jeebs has an illegal deneuralyzer in his basement. K eventually regains his memories, but remembers that years before, he neuralyzed himself specifically to erase what he knew of the Calorie-free of Zartha and those memories have not returned. As a precaution, he left himself a serial of clues.

At the pizzeria, they notice a locker central. J and K fright for Laura's safety and hide her with the worms. The key opens a locker in Thou Key Station where a gild of tiny aliens, who worship M every bit their deity, baby-sit their about sacred relics: 1000'due south wristwatch and video store membership bill of fare.

At the store, as J and M watch a fictionalized story of the Calorie-free of Zartha, K remembers the Zarthan Queen Lauranna long ago entrusted Men in Black with safeguarding the Light from her nemesis, Serleena, who followed Lauranna to Earth and killed her. After hiding the Low-cal, a grief-stricken K neuralyzed himself, both to bury his sadness and to ensure that he would never reveal its hiding place. M still cannot call up where he hid it nor what the Calorie-free actually looks like. Thinking it might be Laura's bracelet, he but remembers that information technology must render to Zartha before long or both Globe and Zartha will be destroyed.

At the worms' apartment, they find that Laura has been captured past Serleena. With the worms, they counterattack MIB headquarters, freeing Laura and the other agents. Serleena attempts to retaliate past chasing them with a spaceship through New York but is eaten by Jeff, a gigantic worm alien living in the New York City Subway.

Laura's bracelet leads J and K to the roof of a skyscraper where a send stands set to transport the Light dorsum to Zartha. M reveals that Laura is the girl of Lauranna (and, it is implied, his daughter) and that she'south also the Light. K convinces J and Laura that she must go to Zartha to relieve both her planet and Earth from destruction. Serleena, who has absorbed Jeff and taken his grade, attempts to snatch the ship carrying Laura as information technology lifts off, but J and Chiliad boom her out of the sky. Since all of New York City has just witnessed this battle in the skies over the metropolis, Yard activates a behemothic neuralyzer in the torch of the Statue of Liberty.

Back at MIB headquarters, J finds that G and Primary Zed have relocated the tiny locker-habitation aliens to his Men in Black locker hoping to give him some perspective. When J suggests showing the miniature creatures that their universe is bigger than a locker, Yard shows him that the human universe is itself a locker within an immense alien train station.
