Unfortunately, the damage he always leaves in his wake has caused him to lose the support of the public. When Hancock (Smith) saves the life of PR executive, Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman), Ray makes it his mission to change Hancock’s image and help him regain the support of the people. Hancock grudgingly accepts and Ray convinces him to turn himself into the authorities who subsequently imprison him for his lawless behaviour. As the crime rate begins to increase, the people of Los Angeles realise just how important Hancock was to the safety of the city. With his reputation restored, everything seems right again… until Hancock meets Ray’s wife (Charlize Theron), a woman with similar powers to his own, who may hold the key to his secret past. ‘Men in Black’ (1997) is a sci-fi action comedy. After chasing a fugitive with an advanced alien weapon, York cop James Edwards (Smith) finds himself recruited to the MiB, a top secret agency in charge of alien immigration on Earth. He is partnered with K (Tommy Lee Jones), and sent to investigate an alien prediction of the end of the world. They have to track down a hostile extra-terrestrial life form currently wearing the human skin of a country hick named Edgar. In the sequel, ‘Men in Black 2’ (2002), it’s four years after our heroes averted a major intergalactic disaster, K (Jones) has returned to civilian life, working as a postman and quite unaware of his former heroics alongside Agent J (Smith). But when J uncovers a secret alien plot organised by the seemingly seductive Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle), he has to call on K again. Unfortunately K has no memory of his former role as ‘Saver-of-the-World’, but somewhere in his head is the expertise that can save the Earth, if only J can get him onside in time.
