Disclosure Day
What would happen if the world discovered that we are not alone? Steven Spielberg returns to his favorite theme, extraterrestrials, with this film that places us on the eve of an unprecedented global event: everything indicates that beings from other galaxies walk and live perfectly normal lives hidden on Earth. The imminent “revelation” of this truth threatens to forever change the lives of eight billion people and their understanding of the universe, transforming a terrifying phenomenon into a profound human dilemma. The film presents an ensemble cast of characters who become involved in this conspiracy or who desperately seek the truth to come to light. Emily Blunt plays a weather anchor who experiences strange events during a live broadcast. Josh O’Connor, Eve Henson, Colin Firth and Colman Domingo complete the cast. Premiere in cinemas.
