The upcoming sci-fi movie Disclosure Day, directed by Steven Spielberg, has been kept very secretive. Even with a recent trailer shown during the Super Bowl, much of the plot remains a mystery, though we’re beginning to get a general idea of the story.
With Disclosure Day, Spielberg revisits a familiar theme: aliens. He’s explored both friendly extraterrestrials – as seen in films like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind – and hostile ones, like in War of the Worlds. While it’s still unclear whether the aliens in Disclosure Day are friend or foe, the initial trailer suggests a potentially unsettling story.
The latest Super Bowl ad maintains that same feel and includes some new details we didn’t see in the previous trailer. You can watch the ad here:
New ‘Disclosure Day’ Teaser Shows Us An Alien Craft
Okay, so after watching the trailers for Disclosure Day, it’s pretty clear this movie isn’t about aliens arriving – it’s about what happens after we find out they’re already out there. It’s less action-packed invasion and more… the world grappling with a massive existential crisis. That’s what the movie seems to be really digging into, and honestly, that’s a fascinating premise. The official story they’re telling confirms this focus on humanity’s reaction to the reveal.
Imagine discovering we aren’t the only ones out there – if someone actually showed you undeniable proof, would it be scary? This summer, the answer will be revealed to everyone on Earth.
A news reporter in a Super Bowl ad mentions a threat to reveal previously secret government information. This feels particularly relevant given all the current discussions about the release of government documents and their potential contents.
It’s unclear if the aliens arriving are friendly. A girl’s bedroom is visited by an elk and a bird, which is unusual, but they don’t appear to be threatening. The most striking part of the Super Bowl ad is at the very end, when a huge spaceship emerges from the clouds.

The cast of Disclosure Day includes Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Wyatt Russell, and Colman Domingo. The screenplay is by David Koepp, a frequent collaborator with Steven Spielberg on films like Jurassic Park and War of the Worlds. However, the story itself originated with Spielberg, who recently completed the rare achievement of winning an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony Award—the EGOT—thanks to a Grammy for the documentary Music by John Williams. This new film promises to be a large-scale, original science fiction movie from a highly respected director.
Disclosure Day will land in theaters on June 12, 2026. We’ll all learn the truth then.
