If Barry Sonnenfeld’s blockbuster Men in Black were to be retooled using John Lundberg’s new documentary Mirage Men as a blueprint, things might have turned out quite differently.

Insiders say "Exit" takes audiences on hairpin twists and turns as it chronicles renegade urban artists and pranksters from around the world.
