From IMDB:

A police officer joins a secret organization that polices and monitors extraterrestrial interactions on Earth.

From Netflix you can stream this old, well known comedy film that lasts 1 hour and 38 minutes.

25 years ago this sci-fi satire led to sequels.  Nothing more than a sequence of outlandish extraterrestrial aliens,  the film offers an escape into discardable nonsense.

Of course we recognize Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith immediately.  But it took me awhile to recognize Vincent D’Onofrio as the gawky monster Edgar.  Can you spot Tony Shalhoub?
