Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, will focus on a global UFO event and is set to arrive in theaters on June 12, 2026 in IMAX. It was originally set to be released on May 15, 2026. The film marks Spielberg’s return to directing after The Fabelmans in 2022 and revives the filmmaker’s interest in alien contact stories that began with his 1977 classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
The newly released trailer shows a quiet start that turns into widespread panic after a strange atmospheric event interrupts a weather forecast. Emily Blunt leads the film as a television meteorologist who witnesses the breakdown firsthand. “If you found out we weren’t alone,” her character says in the teaser, “if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you?” Josh O’Connor’s character then steps forward to promise he will show “the truth” to “the whole world… all at once.”

The film also stars Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo, Wyatt Russell, and Henry Lloyd-Hughes. David Koepp wrote the screenplay from a story by Spielberg, continuing a decades-long partnership that includes Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
The logline asks a central question about how humanity would react to undeniable evidence of extraterrestrial life: “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. We are coming close to … Disclosure Day.”
John Williams, who has composed the music for nearly every Spielberg project since the 1970s, will return to score the movie. Kristie Macosko Krieger and Spielberg are producing for Amblin Entertainment, while Adam Somner and Chris Brigham serve as executive producers.
For audiences, Disclosure Day adds to an already packed 2026 film calendar that includes Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Supergirl, and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Its June release places it squarely in the middle of a high-stakes summer lineup that mixes blockbuster franchises with original science fiction stories.
Spielberg has now directed 37 films since his debut in 1964, with a body of work that has earned over $10 billion worldwide. The announcement of Disclosure Day also arrives at a time of growing public fascination with UFOs, following the success of the Amazon Prime Video documentary The Age of Disclosure, which broke viewership records earlier this month. Taken together, both projects reflect how stories about extraterrestrial life continue to capture the public imagination — this time with one of Hollywood’s most trusted storytellers guiding the narrative.
