If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? A film by Steven Spielberg, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Elizabeth Marvel, Hettienne Park, Tommy Martinez, Gabby Beans, Jeremy Shamos, Brandon Wilson, Priyanka Kedia, Lora Lee Gayer, and Colman Domingo.

Amidst the roaring crowd at a wrestling match between Red (Lance Hoyt) and Blue (Brian Cage), cybersecurity specialist Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) is sitting among the cheering crowd when he is approached by two agents, Casper Boyd (Henry Lloyd-Hughes) and Serena (Hettienne Park). Sitting directly behind him, Boyd gives a simple order: let his backpack slip off the next time the audience stands up. Inside that bag is a highly valuable asset that Daniel has brought to exchange for the life of his kidnapped girlfriend, Jane Blankenship (Eve Hewson).

When the crowd erupts into cheers and jumps to its feet, Serena slips away with the bag. Daniel is forced to stay in his seat while they inspect it to verify all the contents are accounted for.

Afterward, Daniel is taken to the back of the building to face his boss, Noah Scanlon (Colin Firth). Jane is released to him, completely oblivious to what is actually happening. Noah tells Daniel that he and Jane are free to walk away on one condition: Daniel must give up the names of his accomplices and whoever is pulling the strings.

Unnoticed by the others, Daniel quietly slips on a plastic glove and grips the mysterious device. At that exact moment, an agent shouts from a distance, having just inspected the backpack and discovered that the device they are looking for is missing.

The other agents immediately recognize the threat, drawing their weapons and leveling them at Daniel. Fully aware of what the device is capable of, Noah orders his men to stand down and hold their fire. He attempts to talk Daniel into placing the object on the ground, warning him that he has no idea how to use it and that triggering it could end in disaster.

Now that the tables have turned, Daniel realizes he is the one in control. He orders Jane to quickly gather the scattered items and put them back in the bag. With the backpack and the mysterious device secured, they flee the scene in a car stolen from one of the agents.

During the escape, Jane asks Daniel to drop her off at home, but he refuses, explaining that the agents will already be waiting at her apartment. Daniel then contacts Hugo, confirming he escaped with the asset. After telling Hugo that Wardex agents kidnapped Jane to get to him, Daniel asks where Hugo wants him to drop the bag.

When Hugo tells him he needs to hold onto the bag until morning, when Santiago (Tommy Martinez) will find him, Daniel becomes frustrated. He argues that this was never part of the plan, as his only responsibility was getting the materials out of the facility. Hugo insists that Daniel is currently the most qualified person to protect the asset. Before hanging up, Hugo suggests dropping Jane off somewhere safe and reminds Daniel to destroy his phone.

Back at Wardex, a non-governmental organization partnered with the Department of Defense, Noah is informed that the DoD has requested a briefing regarding the security breach. When Noah learns from Boyd that twelve employees failed to show up for work, he realizes this was a highly coordinated internal attack.

While the endgame is unclear, the fact that the stolen data hasn’t been leaked online suggests that whoever is calling the shots is waiting for something. Moments later, Boyd reports that Hugo Wakefield (Colman Domingo), the Director of Biological Assets, also failed to arrive this morning. His desk is completely empty. And even worse, a second mysterious device is missing from D-Storage.

Seeking a safe haven, Jane brings Daniel to the Monastery of St. Clare of the Dawn, the convent where she previously trained as a novice. Sister Maura (Elizabeth Marvel) recognizes Jane and grants them shelter for the night. However, her protective instincts quickly take over. Visibly concerned for Jane’s safety, Sister Maura asks Daniel to leave her out of whatever trouble he has caused, insisting that Jane is always welcome to stay there.

Unable to dodge Jane’s relentless questions, Daniel finally confesses the truth. He reveals he has been with Wardex for eight years, starting right after he finished a nineteen-month stint in federal prison for cybercrime. Three months ago, Hugo showed him the classified footage. Shocked by the magnitude of the discovery, Daniel became convinced that Wardex had no right to withhold the truth from the public, so he agreed to help smuggle it out of the facility.

DISCLOSURE DAY 👁️
Some truths change everything.
—
A film by Steven Spielberg, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Elizabeth Marvel, Hettienne Park, Tommy Martinez, Gabby Beans, Jeremy Shamos, Brandon Wilson, Priyanka Kedia, Lora Lee Gayer, and Colman Domingo.

Directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by David Koepp, DISCLOSURE DAY is a sci-fi thriller based on an original story by Spielberg. The film follows a cybersecurity expert recruited by a corporate director for a dangerous mission. Infiltrating the company from the inside, the expert must steal a mysterious device and ironclad drives containing highly classified footage to expose a massive government cover-up and reveal a truth the public deserves to know.

Essentially, it’s a non-stop chase movie. After the protagonist steals from the corporation he works for, the entire narrative becomes a relentless manhunt, with a fleet of corporate agents tracking him down to retrieve the asset. It’s the same concept as Indiana Jones. But instead of an ancient treasure, he’s running with classified evidence proving the existence of extraterrestrial life.

The build-up is incredibly compelling. As expected from Steven Spielberg, the cinematography and production values are nothing short of spectacular.

Emily Blunt and Josh O’Connor deliver convincing performances, with Blunt standing out as Margaret Fairchild, a TV meteorologist who inexplicably becomes a vessel for an extraterrestrial life form. However, O’Connor’s character, Daniel Kellner, is weighed down by some highly illogical choices, like risking his own life to save a girlfriend Jane allegedly being mind-controlled by Noah Scanlon.

On the other hand, Margaret’s boyfriend Jackson might be annoying, but his reactions feel far more grounded and realistic than Daniel’s.

Despite the predictable plot, the film is highly entertaining. I absolutely loved all the crazy spectacles, including that mysterious device that makes people invisible and packs enough juice to run a massive live TV broadcast.

Unfortunately, the final act fails to deliver an extraordinary payoff. It’s so underwhelming when the big reveal is just one surviving alien featuring the most stereotypical design imaginable: an alien with a giant head, huge eyes, and tiny limbs. What happened to the creativity in the creature design?

DISCLOSURE DAY premiered at Le Grand Rex in Paris on 2 June 2026. The film is set for theatrical release in the United Kingdom on 10 June and in the United States on 12 June.
