Mickey Rourke is finally back to work … returning to the big screen after his recent eviction and financial struggles — and he looks locked in and ready to roll.
Check out the pic … Rourke is getting full hair and makeup done, eyes closed and focused, as he gears up for his acting return.
Rourke’s rep Kimberly Hines tells TMZ … the actor is currently in Utah shooting “Sol Hershowitz’s Guide to Extraterrestrial Life,” where he’s taking on a major role in the project. We’re told he’s one of the film’s leads … playing a paranoid, ex-military conspiracist who claims to have stolen alien technology from the government.
Hines — who’s also an executive producer on the film — tells us she’s thrilled to have him back on set, with production now underway.

As you know … Rourke’s been dealing with some tough times, including being evicted from his L.A. home — which he said was infested with rodents — and turning down more than $100K raised through a GoFundMe campaign.
He seems to be leaving all that in the past … getting himself back in the game.
