Men at Work is a 1990 American black comedy film about a pair of troublemaking garbagemen Carl Taylor (Sheen) and James St. James (Estevez) who dream of owning a surf shop. The film begins with the pair collecting trash as they usually do, by tossing garbage cans in the street and making noise that disturbs the residents. One of the local cops, Mike, hassles them frequently, but Carl and James seem to have gotten used to this treatment and shrug it off. What happens next?
