New Trailer for Steven Spielberg’s DISCLOSURE DAY Unleashes UFOs, Psychic Signals, and Alien Possession
A new trailer has arrived for Disclosure Day, the upcoming alien sci-fi thriller from legendary filmmaker Steven Spielberg, and it looks like the director is diving headfirst back into the cosmic unknown.
The film explores what happens when humanity finally confronts the possibility that we’re not alone, and the footage leans hard into the eerie, mysterious side of that idea with alien transmissions, psychic connections, and some seriously strange phenomena.
The story centers on a moment that flips the world upside down. Emily Blunt stars as a Kansas weatherwoman whose routine broadcast suddenly becomes something far more unsettling when she appears to channel an alien message live on air.
What begins as a bizarre local incident quickly spirals into a worldwide event that pulls governments, scientists, and everyday people into a storm of fear, curiosity, and disbelief.
Spielberg has long been fascinated by the unknown, and he’s spoken openly about the inspiration behind stories like this.
"I've always been fascinated with things that cannot be explained. And I've made a lot of movies about things that can't be explained, from sharks to saucers. When I was just a little kid, I remember developing a real curiosity about the sky at night, and what's happening up there," Spielberg previously stated.
"And also, not the possibility, but the guarantee that there is life off this planet," he continued. "People's questions about what is not only going on in our skies, but what is going on in our worlds, in our realities, has reached a critical mass, of people's complete fascination with 'Are we alone, or are we not alone?' And if someone knows we're not alone, why haven't we been told?"
The concept of “disclosure” has been a long-running topic in UFO circles. It refers to the idea that governments, particularly in the United States, may one day confirm the existence of extraterrestrial life and reveal hidden information about alien encounters.
That conversation has spread far beyond conspiracy forums in recent years as newly released footage of UAPs, or Unexplained Aerial Phenomena, and whistleblower claims have sparked renewed public curiosity.
The film imagines what might happen if that long-whispered revelation finally breaks into the open. It looks like this story will blend large-scale global reactions with deeply personal moments as people struggle to process the truth.
Blunt is joined by Josh O’Connor and Colin Firth, both playing figures caught in the middle of the chaos as the world tries to understand what this strange message means and whether humanity is ready to hear it.
The screenplay comes from David Koepp, a longtime collaborator of Spielberg. Koepp previously worked with the director on Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Koepp also wrote the screenplay for 2025’s Jurassic World Rebirth.
With Spielberg exploring extraterrestrial contact once again, Disclosure Day looks like it will tap into the same sense of wonder and unease that defined some of his earlier sci-fi classics while tackling a topic that feels increasingly relevant today.
Disclosure Day lands in theaters on June 12, 2026.
