Hollywood Release: Men in Black 3 [Watch Trailer]

On July 16, 1969, Agent K apprehended the intergalactic criminal Boris the Animal at Cape Canaveral in Florida before setting up the ArcNet shield, which protected Earth from an invasion by Boris' species and rendered them extinct. Over 40 years later, Boris escapes from the Lunar Max prison facility on the Moon and arrives on Earth, with the intent on taking revenge on Agent K - who took away his left arm during his arrest. After investigating a spaceship crash in New York City, Agent K deduces that Boris has sprung out of prison, and he regrets not having killed him back in 1969.

The next day, Agent J notices that Agent K is no longer in his apartment. He arrives at MIB headquarters to discover that Agent K has been dead for over 40 years. Agent O, the new Chief after Agent Z's passing, deduces that there has been a fracture in the space-time continuum based on Agent J's insatiable craving for chocolate milk to ameliorate his headaches. Agent J comes to the conclusion that Boris acquired a time-jump device and traveled back to 1969 to kill Agent K, resulting in an inevitable invasion of Earth due to the absence of the ArcNet. Agent J goes to Obadiah Prince, a black market dealer who sold Boris the time-jump device, and acquires one of his own. As the time-jump device needs a certain amount of velocity to activate, Agent J must jump off the Chrysler Building to make the time-travel. He travels to July 15, 1969 - one day before the incident involving Boris and Agent K.

Upon arriving at the timeline, Agent J travels to Coney Island, knowing that Boris will be committing a murder based on the database records he accessed beforehand. However, a younger Agent K arrests him and has him placed in a larger, more primitive Neuralyzer. At the very last second, Agent J convinces Agent K to stop the process when he reveals the truth of his mission. They eventually work together and follow Boris' trail. Their clues lead them to a prescient alien named Griffin, who is in possession of the ArcNet. Being able to look into multiple future outcomes and scenarios, he warns the two agents of Boris' impending arrival and hurriedly leaves the venue.

Based on the clues left for them, the Agents locate Griffin, who gives them the shield that has to be placed onto the Apollo 11 lunar rocket launch occurring in less than six hours. Upon arriving at Cape Canaveral, the two agents and Griffin are quickly arrested by military police. The Colonel in the scene, however, allows the two agents to carry on their mission after Griffin uses his precognitive power to show them what great men they are.

Agent J and K arrive at the launch pad, but are confronted separately by both 1969 and modern-day incarnations of Boris. Modern-day Boris impales Agent J with his spikes before they both fall off the pad; however, Agent J uses the time-jump to travel back to the beginning of the fight and avoid the spikes before pushing the criminal off the pad into the fiery exhaust gases of the rocket. Meanwhile, as Agent K battles the younger Boris, he ruptures a fueling hose, causing it to spray liquid nitrogen on 1969 Boris' left arm and shatter it. Agent K then successfully plants the ArcNet on the rocket, which deploys after reaching the Earth's atmosphere. The Colonel congratulates Agent K, who in turn invites him to join the Agency. However, 1969 Boris emerges from the blast chamber and kills the Colonel before Agent K disintegrates the criminal. A young boy, who turns out to be a prepubescent Agent J, arrives at the launch site looking for his father, but is slowly coaxed away from the gruesome truth by Agent K, who will later recruit him into the Agency.

Agent J returns to the present day, where he meets up with his partner at the usual diner. There, he shows Agent K his father's pocket watch. The senior agent, in return, tells him it was an honor to have met him that fateful day. As they leave the diner, Griffin - who is a few seats away, tells the viewer that all is well with the world, except for an inevitable asteroid impact on Earth because Agent K forgot to leave a tip. But when Agent K returns to leave his tip, the asteroid collides with a satellite, thus avoiding the catastrophe.
