Steven Spielberg releases new film “Disclosure Day”

Steven Spielberg’s 37th feature film, “Disclosure Day,” opened in theaters on Friday, marking the director’s return to sci‑fi thriller territory. The plot follows cybersecurity specialist Dr. Daniel Kellner (Josh O’Connor) who steals classified alien‑related data from his former employer Wardex and joins meteorologist Margaret Fairchild (Emily Blunt) to expose the evidence, while being pursued by their former boss.

Early reviews have highlighted the film’s blend of government secrecy, extraterrestrial themes and Spielberg’s signature style. The release has sparked a wave of retrospectives and a critics’ poll that ranked Spielberg’s past works such as “Jaws” and “Schindler’s List” at the top, with “Disclosure Day” being discussed alongside his recent titles “The Fabelmans” and “West Side Story.”
