Steven Spielberg has revealed that his upcoming sci-fi film Disclosure Day is grounded more in reality than audiences might expect.
Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, the legendary director said the project is inspired by real-world reports of unidentified aerial phenomena, adding that it contains “more truth than fiction.”
The film marks Spielberg’s return to the alien genre, decades after classics like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. This time, however, the focus leans more toward modern-day questions around UFO sightings and government secrecy.
Disclosure Day is set for release on 12 June 2026 and features a star-studded cast including Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo and Colin Firth.
Early footage shown at CinemaCon hints at a story that blends human drama with mysterious extraterrestrial encounters, with Spielberg teasing an intense viewing experience for audiences.
The director has long expressed an interest in the possibility of alien life, and this latest project appears to explore that idea through a more grounded and thought-provoking lens.
