Solution

Basically, you are trying to do it too fast. Wrap your function with $(document).ready(...). 

$(document).ready(function() {
    var url = 'http://api.themoviedb.org/3/',
    mode = 'search/movie',
    input,
    movieName,
    key = '?api_key=api key here';

    $('button').click(function() {
        var input = $('#movie').val(),
            movieName = encodeURI(input);
        $.ajax({
            url: url + mode + key + '&query='+movieName ,
            dataType: 'jsonp',
            success: function(data) {
             console.log(data);
            },
            error: function (request, status, error) {
             alert(status + ", " + error);
            }
        });
    });
});

<input id="movie" type="text" /><button>Search</button>
