Disclosure Day is an upcoming sci-fi film from director Steven Spielberg, and it has been shrouded in secrecy. Even after a new TV spot dropped during the Super Bowl, we still have more questions than answers, although the outline is starting to become clear.
Disclosure Day finds Spielberg going back to a well he’s returned to again and again over the decades: extraterrestrials. He’s made movies where the aliens are friendly (E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind) and movies where they’re hostile (War of the Worlds). It’s too early to tell what exactly we’re dealing with in Disclosure Day, although the first trailer certainly had an ominous tone.
That tone continues in the new Super Bowl spot, which includes some intriguing details not present in the last trailer. Watch the new spot below:

Based on these trailers, Disclosure Day is focused specifically on humanity learning about the existence of extraterrestrial life and the existential crisis that precipitates, hence the official synopsis for the movie:
If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people.
“There has been a threat to release government material long shrouded in secrecy,” a news reporter says in the Super Bowl spot. That line feels apropos, since there’s so much talk these days about government documents being released and what may or may not be in them.
As for whether the aliens come in peace, it’s hard to read. An elk and a bird show up in a little girl’s room, which doesn’t seem normal, but they don’t seem like they mean her any harm. The most important new shot comes right at the end of the Super Bowl spot, where we see what looks to be a massive spaceship breaking through the clouds.
Disclosure Day stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, and Colman Domingo. The movie is written by David Koepp, who has collaborated with Spielberg before on films like Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds. However, the movie is based on an original idea that comes straight from Spielberg, who recently achieved EGOT status thanks to a Grammy win for his work on the documentary Music by John Williams. It’s exciting to think that we’re getting what looks to be a big-budget original sci-fi film from such an accomplished director.
Disclosure Day will land in theaters on June 12, 2026. We’ll all learn the truth then.
